You must first mount the floppy or CDROM as a directory, then just treat it as part of your file system. example: "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt" means mount the floppy disk /dev/fd0 thats a msdos file type as the directory /mnt. You can use any directory mount point as long as it's created prior to mounting the floppy or CDROM. Try "man mount" for more info. > > 2.
