no idea on this one, sorry. > Also, how can I copy a file from my harddrive to a floppy (i.e., A: in Windows > or MS-DOS).

Apparently, mount /floppy as a normal user also works, although i've never tried it. Then cp ~/myfile /floppy. you may need to make sure the read-write permissions are correct on /floppy, though. If you want to eject the disk you'd better umount /floppy this cleanly unmounts the disk and makes sure everything is written on it. I suggest you have a read of some of the pretty good online users guides etc. I can't remember the URLS, but Linux Gazette (www.linuxgazette.com) has a link to a linux resources page, which in turn has a link to the linux documentation project (LPD) which has lots of stuff to read on it.
