Look at the Linux Documentation Project, in particular `The Linux Users' Guide' and `Installation and Getting Started Guide'

This would mount it under directory /mnt: $ su <enter root passwd> # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt You can also include it on /etc/fstab like so: /dev/fd0 /A vfat user,noauto and then any user can mount it. Not I used `vfat' here instead of type msdos, but that only works if compiled into the kernel. > tried > to access 'man man' to read the manual (but get an error "can't open the > manpath configuration file /etc/manpath.config"), Looks like it's not properly installed. Find the `man-db' package and install it (dpkg -i man-db*) Peter
