pietro.
OK, Pietro, Martin,
I use console mode, but always shut down via 'poweroff'. I likely removed
the disc and put it safely in its box before not doing a sync or umount.
I could not have done it more wrong! lesson learnt.
Whatever that floppy can still not be mounted

A umount does sync the floppy or any disc...

HI, dman, Pietro, Jo-el, & Sam,
I definitely did not do a sync. Maybe I did a umount, but probably not.
Why, when one shuts down via, say, poweroff, can unix not do that for you
in the course of closing things down? It seems on of those things that
is going to get forgotten in a rush.

If this is really what you typed, then I hope you have
noticed that you have typed the letter 'o' instead of
zero.

Ian,
All I can say is "Ouch!". Unlike the DOS world, Unix in general,
and Linux
Hi,
I did a fresh install over the Xmas break.
Prior to this I saved all the various conf files to a floppy.
Now I cannot mount the floppy
# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
# mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy
# mount -t auto /dev/fdo /floppy
# mount /dev/fd0
I am away from the machine at present,
