Thanx Nandz, I have already tried this
>imdps$ mount -tvfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floopy but the result which this command shows is: you must be root to mount. And my problem is I am being able to mount the floopy and read its contents as superuser by simply using the command mount /mnt/floppy, but not from the user side like in my case imdps. Any comments please???
