You should be able to:

put in floppy, then:

mount /mnt/floppy [enter]

You should then hear a *snick-bzzt--bzzt-etc..*. (the floppy being mounted.)

Then:

cd /mnt/floppy [enter]

ls [enter]

It appears that this is a bug. I wouldn't know since my wife's laptop doesn't have a floppy drive. See this for a solution.

Lou, are you still working with Morphix, or did you go crawling back to Bill Gates?

Lou-saydus · Post by **Lou-saydus** » Sat Feb 07, 2004 3:35 am
