Hey Kev,
Give this a shot. Insert the disk into the drive. Assuming that your
floppy is /dev/fd0 (most are), do this:
%mkfs.ext2 /dev/fd0
viloa, all done. You should see info about the superblocks being written.
Now you can mount it to the dir ( I use /mnt/floppy) of your choice.
So, if I didn't

Under normal circumstances t
Should be able to run:
mke2fs /dev/fd0 (or whichever floppy drive it is)
This needs to be done as root.
Then mount with:
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy (or alternate mount point)

Sorry for the dumb question, but I searched in RH manuals and the RedHat
site, but no joy...
thanks,
