I don't use RedHat but....... Try leaving the filesystem type (-t msdos) out of the command. RH 8 should be able to autodetect the FS type. Also check that the mount point /mnt/floppy is there. Some systems put the mount point at /floppy. Also, if you go to KDE or Gnome the floppy should be autoloaded when you click on it. Just a thought. -- Stay well and happy Heracles -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
