Help with Watcom C compiler !

Hi all,

Has anyone had problems with the license for Watcom 10.6 that comes on a
floppy disk ?

Here’s the problem : I can’t mount the disk !

If I try the following :

#mount /dev/fd0 /fd0

I get the following :

cd /fd

/fd: bad directory

Meanwhile, the floppy driver seems to be running :

Since you do “mount /dev/fd0 /fd0”, you should do “cd /fd0” and not “cd
/fd”.


You use the program “license” to copy the licenses from the floppy
onto the HD. Some license floppy (not sure if this applies to Watcom) don’t
have a file system anyway :wink:

The licenses disk probably doesn’t have a filesystem on it.

Just try:

license /dev/fd0
