Hi all

I can mount DOS floppies easily on my machine, but Mac floppies give me a "Cannot determine file type..." sort of answer.

If I do 'mount -t hfs /dev/fd0 /floppy' then I get a "Only root can do that..." error.

Root can mount it OK.

How can I mount the floppy as a normal user?

Add the user option to /etc/fstab

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0

Hmm, I have at present: /def/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 so its not that... -- GPG fingerprint = 3D45 5509 D380 26A4 523E A9D8 A66A 5F38 CA43 BB0E

Add another line

/dev/fd0 /macfloppy hfs noauto,user,sync 0 0

create the dir /macfloppy and use "mount /macfloppy" to mount the mac floppies
