First off high jacking a topic like you did, is a bad thing. (check out lists.debian.org archives and you'll see why). As for what you are trying to do, try this: $> mount /foppy if that don't work then: $> mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt (think the syntax is right I just use mount /floppy most of the time). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
