what is the best source of info on using the floppy drive? I am jsut now getting around to using it much and i need some guidance. I made an ext2 fs on one and copied some files to it. I tried to read it in kde and it said I needed to specify the file system. My fstab says it is auto. So i need to figure out some more. -- Bob Rea Freedom is only privilege extended unless enjoyed by one and all --Billy Bragg rear@sirius.com rrea@askjeeves.com http://www.sirius.com/~rear -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

This is my script "fdmt" __________________________ cd ~ mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0h1440 /floppy _______________________________________ ................................................... This is my script "dosmt" ____________________________ cd ~ mount -t msdos /dev/fd0h1440 /floppy ____________________________________________ ................................................... This is what I have in /etc/fstab :- ______________________________________ /dev/fd0h1440 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 .................................................................................................... best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________ This Email is 100% Virus Free!
