In a moment of stupidity whilst attempting to learn how to copy from hard drive to floppy disc I managed to "rm /dev/fd0". Now although "locate" still shows it as existing attempting to "mount /floppy" gives me the message "mount: special device /dev/fd0 does not exist"
/etc/fstab looks like this: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda5 /var ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,sync 0 0 I`ve tried looking for "makedev" which dselect tells me is installed but all I seem to have are the doc files and the /var/lib/dpkg/info/ files. How do I restore my floppy drive? Thanks in advance Paul Walton
