I assume you know mounting basics and what you want to do with that command. Your kernel sais, that /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device and thus it cannot mount it. Well, as long as you cannot mount your floppy drive, you cannot access any file on it. Your kernel has no such device /dev/fd0, so perhaps the floppy device is disabled in bios or is not or not correctly attached to your mainboard and/or power supply. Perhaps you will check your /var/log/messages for any infos regarding floppy and/or fd0. As soon as the mount succeeds, you will be able to see the contents of your floppy in the mountpoint /media/floppy. Before this, any cd'ing, ls'ing and rpm'ing is senseless.

I tryed again with the floppy this time.
mount /media/floppy mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device. rpm -ivh /media/floppy/libart_lgpl.rpm error: cannot open file /media/floppy/libart_lgpl.rpm: No such file or directory.
I hope this is what you asked me to do, and that you can help me to solve this problem.
