can I remove MakeSMBDeviceCommand and MakeFTPDeviceCommand ?

I have noticed that :

  • MakeSMBDeviceCommand and SMBMountCommand : they are both the same but the second take a mount point as argument
  • MakeFTPDeviceCommand and FTPMountCommand : they are both the same but the second take a mount point as argument

And there is the generic MountCommand, which take a device, so :

  • SMBMountCommand is equivalent to MakeSMBDeviceCommand + MountCommand
  • FTPMountCommand is equivalent to MakeFTPDeviceCommand + MountCommand

we don't need so much complicated things.
Creating devices by MakeSMBDeviceCommand and MakeFTPDeviceCommand has no meaning for me : we only want to mount a specific filesystem (and for that the command will create a device and a driver : the user don't even have to know that).

PROJECT DUE 01-20-2008 (manipulation of secondary memory)

ei, i have some additional questions and problems. Is it possible to manipulate secondary memory using java? to be more specific, is it possible to hide the actual memory of a drive,
and make the Operating System believe that the memory of the drive is smaller than its actual size, making the transfer of files in that drive impossible?

Example:
If i have a 256MB flashdrive, i need my program to hide
Its actual size. So when my program is executed to
"hide" and the user inquires the memory size of the
flash drive,
"mouse-right-click on flashdrive>>properties",

Announce: New desktop background, "Time To Hack JNode"

I have created a custom Desktop background called "Time To Hack JNode" for my JNode 0.2.6-dev PC, which I am happy to contribute to JNode, or to anyone else who wants it. Details after the break.

1. Download a copy of the JNode source from svn.
http://www.jnode.org/node/25#src
The path to your JNode source tree will be called $JNODEHOME here.

2. Download TimeToHackJNode.tar into a work area.
Unix/Linux: cd /tmp; wget http://exileinparadise.com/JNode/TimeToHackJnode.tar

3. Untar it.
Unix/Linux: tar xvf TimeToHackJnode.tar
Windows/Mac: You did scan that with your favorite CPU, RAM, and I/O wasting malware scanner first, right?

explain a bit about GNU classpath

hi,
i checked on the internet about GNU classpath. what i understood from that is classpath is a open source implememtation of java runtime libraries. as from the architeture of Jnode, we have a nano kernel written in C on top a bootloader which i think loads this classpath. And later on the JVM takes over... running Jnode ... i agree i could have missed out some steps in it. can anybody explain me the actual bootup a bit clear .... i am a newbie so please bear with me ..

PROJECT DUE 01-20-08 (accessing drives using Java)

ei guys, i really need immediate help. i got this project due January 20, 2008. What package from JDK 1.6 can i use to access local hard drives? or rather can anyone teach me how to access a hard drive using java?

Here's a detail description on my project:

I've created a JFrame that contains a JButton, and what i need
the button to perform when pressed is to automatically open a
specific drive via Windows explorer, lets say drive "D:". So
basically pressing the JButton is similar as running "My
Computer" then double clicking the hard disk drive "D:".

pls guys i really need your help as soon as possible!
