It's obvious to me now, but I suppose not really pointed out anywhere. You probably want something like: /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat user,noauto vfat means I get long filenames. user means I don't need to be root to mount it. noauto means it isn't mounted until you ask for it specifically. When you put a floppy in, type "mount /floppy" and type "umount /floppy" before you take it out. -- Carey Evans <*> http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ gc kernel: Warning: possible SYN flooding.
