Choose an appropriate name for the share. You may also add a short description for this folder (input field “ Comment ”).

If necessary, adjust the permissions (button “permissions”).

Click “ OK ” to set the options for this share.

UNIX and UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Solaris, Linux)

If you like to access the share via SAMBA, SAMBA has to be set up properly. You may either edit the SAMBA configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf, or use the Samba Web Administration Tool (SWAT) or WebMin to set the correct parameters.

For additional options see the Section called Options for details.

Creating an Image

Floppy Images

UNIX and UNIX-like OS

To create an image file, make use of “dd”. This is one of the original UNIX utilities and is included in every UNIX-like OS (UNIX, Sun Solaris, Linux).

To create a floppy image file, copy the contents of a floppy to a file. You can use the following command:

dd[ if=/dev/fd0 ] [ of=/tmp/floppy.image ]

ddreads the entire disc from the device /dev/fd0 , and saves the output in the specified output file /tmp/floppy.image. Adjust both parameters exactly to your needs (input device etc.)

MS Windows

You can use the tool “RawWrite for Windows”. It is included on the CD ROM shipped with KVM-9000.
