if you are "running the dsl version that you run from within Windoze", you emulate a pc in windows which runs dsl. all hardware is emulated. there is no "real" harddisk or cdromdrive, the /mnt/hda you look at is a file thats simulates a hardisk. you can NOT look at your windows harddisk.
however... if you setup your windows as a server ( share your hadrdisk) and uses SMBclient from the dsl-fluxbox menu you can access your windows shares.

Am I doing something wrong or am I misunderstanding what you are telling me?
Ignore everything I said. I overlooked the fact that you're running DSL embedded. Listen to the other guys instead.Actually, you both have been a great help! A little history might help.... I have decided to make the change to Linux, it's ridiculous that I haven't. I'm pretty good with puters.
What I am doing, though, is plaing with several CD versions and the dsl within Windows. There are several reasons for doing this. The obvious being that I want to learn to get around, both in the gui and via terminal. And to determine what harware problems I may have at installation time.
So you both have helped as I now know how to mount drives from the CD version of Ubuntu that I have and I will get to learn a little about networking here shortly when figuring out how to get to my shared resources; I did share my floppy and backup drive, so as to learn how to do this.
