2.2. The Main window

The main kdf window displays the available file devices.

Normally, the following pieces of information are included:

kdf Screen

In the picture above, four devices are shown: two ext2-formatted hard drive partitions, one mounted at the filesystem root (/) and one at /old, a mounted iso9660 CD-ROM and an unmounted floppy drive.

Left clicking on the header of a particular column sorts the devices according to that variable. A second left click sorts in the opposite order.

Clicking on a row pops up a menu. If that device is not currently mounted, the Mount device option is available. If the device is mounted, it can be unmounted by choosing Unmount device. Selecting Open filemanager opens a new window with a graphical view of the files on that device.
