>Agreed, but that's the error I get when I enter "mount >/floppy/vfat" >and >"mount /floppy/minix". (Entries in fstab support >both) >-- I think you are mixing up the mount point and the device. /floppy/vfat or /floppy/minux would be the mount point. These directories exist on your root partition. (If they don't the mount will fail!) The device is still /dev/fd0. So to mount the floppy once it is formated the command is "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy/vfat -t vfat" This says " mount the floppy in device /dev/fd0 on the mount point /floppy/vfat expecting the vfat file system on the diskette. === Amateur Radio, when all else fails! http://www.qsl.net/wa2mze Debian Gnu Linux, Live Free or ..... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
