How To Submit Homework/Labs

Written homework and lab questions can be handed in during class. All code should be submitted electronically. If you cannot get access to Smith's webmail on your lab machine, you'll have to use the following procedure to submit your code. You'll need some kind of removable media (a floppy, zip disk, or flash drive will work). You need to copy your work onto the removable device and then take it over to a machine with e-mail access. This practice has the side-benefit of making you back up all your work, which is always a good thing to do!

Procedure:

Insert the floppy/zip/flash drive into the computer
Mount the volume from the command line:
- For floppies type: mount /dev/fd0 (mounted at /mnt/floppy)
- For zip disks: mount /dev/hdd4 (mounted at /mnt/zip)
- Flash drives should mount automatically (in Fedora) (mounted at /media/VOLUME_NAME, where VOLUME_NAME is whatever you named your flash drive)
Copy the files over to the mounted device
Unmount the volume from the command line:
- Floppies: umount /dev/floppy
- Zip: umount /dev/zip
- Flash Drives: you can right click on the icon and select 'Unmount', or from the command line type: 'umount /dev/sdb1'
Take the disk/drive over to a normal lab machine and then e-mail your assignments to trekp@cs.umass.edu with the subject line: CSC262 Lab 2 (or whatever you're submitting).
