If it's a DOS or Windows floppy, try as root, # mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /floppy Before you eject the disk, it's important to unmount the floppy first. # umount /floppy Wait until you get a command prompt and the drive light is off before you eject the disk. I don't believe there's any gui's out there that streamline this operation (though I also believe GNOME and KDE are bloated POSs and avoid them, going for AfterStep instead). > Reena Mahbubani > Co-Op, Bell Mobility, Technology Development > 2920 Matheson Boulevard East, Mississauga, Ontario L4W 5J4 > Tel: (905) 282-3172, Cell: (416) 523-7167 I feel sorry for you. You're in the same city as one of the offices of my former employer, Stream International. I advise anybody here to *not* apply for work for them, no matter how desperate your situation is. Hint: Driving a bus for the City of Portland, Oregon pays better and is less stressful than listening to Windows lusers all day on the phone. -- Baloo Bus Driver
