Did you add your user to the floppy group in /etc/group ? On my box: bash-2.05b# cat /etc/group | grep floppy floppy::11:root,arturo,katia,michele Check the permissions, owner and group of files in /dev/floppy. I don't know why, but on my box they belong to arturo:floppy with rw permissions for user and group. I'm not an expert of devfs, so since it works on my PC I'm not going to investigate why the floppy devices belong to a user and not to root. Maybe someone in the list can explain that. -- Arturo di Gioia web: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~digioia/ PGP public key: http://www.ing.unitn.it/~digioia/files/adg_gpg_pub.asc Registered Linux user #230853 (http://counter.li.org).
