Can someone help me see what is wrong here?
Try on a konsole "ls /media/floppy". If it fails, try "mount /media/floppy". If it works, don't forget to umount.
The system, as you can see from the above, says that the floppy is already mounted.
Here is the result of your suggestion:
stan@poblano:~> ls /media/floppy stan@poblano:~> mount /media/floppy mount: /dev/fd0 already mounted or /media/floppy busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/fd0 is already mounted on /media/floppy stan@poblano:~>
Which confirms that the drive was mounted. But if so, why does it not display the contents of the diskette that is in the drive?
Ok, then try to umount, then mount - manually.
stan@poblano:~> umount /media/floppy stan@poblano:~> ls /media/floppy stan@poblano:~> mount /media/floppy mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device stan@poblano:~> mount /media/floppy Above, is the umount, which was effective, since ls returned nothing. It is unexpected (at least to me) that the mount command then gets the error message. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
