I did what you suggested but still (after rebooting) when I try to:
mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
I get the message
mount: only root can do that
which makes me wonder if the mount command doesn't have permissions set to
700 - would that be it? When I try to mount the drive from the desktop icon
with a native ext2 disk it mounts (even when I'm not guest) but when I try
to do a mount at the terminal--I get that message.

ps. I really need to be able to do this command from a shell prompt
