Well Raja, this question comes up very often here on the list, and I see
that Derek already gave you an answer. But here's a tip : when running
into trouble, try to search the mail-archive for the topic in question,
type a keyword (i.e. "floppy") in the "find"-box and see what appears.
The mail archive is at :

This archive is a great source of wisdom, but - of course - you can
always post a question to the list anyway ! - Welcome to linux-land !
