For mount floppy disk enter command: mount 'floppy_disk_device' 'directory' by example 'mount /dev/fd1 /mnt' You can mount MSDOS floppy too. Check /dev/fd1.'disk size'. By example for mount MSDOS floppy disk on 1.2Mb enter command 'mount /dev/fd1.1200 /mnt' Regards Andrey -- Andrey A Perminov e-mail: and@mgul.ac.ru System Administrator Moscow State University of Forestry (Russia)
