Yeah, only it didn't work. Kept getting either no such device or no such file (even in root). I think it may have something to do with SuSe 7.2 keeping floppy in a file called /media. Tried substituting /media/floppy and /media/fd0 for /device/floppy and fd0 but it didn't work. But then, we're dealing withthe folks who invented the panzerwagon beetle. Lee P.S. Please disregard any mispellings. I'm using peanut Linux now for a hoot and the V-mail doesn't have a spell corrector. So, I've got to wing it for spelling and typos. > > > > > -- > +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ > + Bruce S.
