I cant copy the log over to my floppy or my windows partition, it appears I don't have the priveleges to copy it over to eaather thanks for the help
You can't copy a file to your floppy as root? Check /etc/fstab and look for:
[indent]
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat rw,users,noauto
[/indent]
If you don't have an entry in your /etc/fstab for mounting the floppy, you'll have to manually add one. Same thing for you Windows partition, whichcould look something like this:
[indent]
/dev/hda0 /c-drive vfat rw,users,noauto 0 0
[/indent]
Make sure you change the mountpoint to your actual mountpoint (directory) or create one using:
[indent]
root@host# mkdir /c-drive
[/indent]
