Hi,
I have installed lfs-svn-20060416 on my Compaq laptop having P-III
processor.
1. I am not able to copy files on to /dev/fd0. I tried both the
following ways:
cat xvy.abc > /dev/fd0
OR
dd if=xyz.abc of=/dev/fd0
But both the above commands give the error 'Permission denied'.
I was not sure if one has to mount /dev/fd0 before writing to it. So, i
tried both ways and the error is the same. Any answers please?
What line do you have in /etc/fstab to mount floppies?
FWIW, this line in /etc/fstab lets me mount floppies as an ordinary user
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
For more details of the options, read man mount
