Thanks Brian
It appears that floppy support was a bit of an afterthought on
MkLinux (something to do with Apple's aversion to floppy drives for
the iMac perhaps?). However, there is MAKEDEV-2.5.1.noarch.rpm on
the MkLinux CD and luckily I spotted "alien" during my last Debian
install and selected it for installation; so I should be able to load
the MkLinux version of MAKEDEV and try that - I'll keep you posted.
Regards
Clive

So far so good but I've hit a problem mounting floppies. Mounting
CD's is fine but "mount /floppy" gives "/dev/fd0 has wrong major or
minor number"
... gah. Almost forgot. Check the info file on the 'mknod' command.
$>info mknod
