Although you can retype the command sequence in over and over, an easier way
is to put it in say your
/etc/bashrc
or whatever control file for the shell you use.

Simply add the lines below and save.
# Mount a DOS Floppy - Long FileName support
alias mntdosa="mount /dev/fd0 -t vfat /mnt/floppy"
alias umntdosa="umount /mnt/floppy"
# Mount a Linux Floppy
alias mntlina="mount /dev/fd0 -t ext2 /mnt/floppy"
alias umntlina="umount /mnt/floppy"
This way as any user you can mount and umount devices with a single word
command.
