Well, after attempting to edit my fstab file to add my second floppy (and almost getting it to work) , I ended up somehow corrupting the damn thing and had to reinstall Linux one more little old time. Now /dev/fd0 won't mount either, and it says I must specify the filesystem type, which near as I can tell is set to auto in my now virgin fstab. I do need to tell y'all that for some unknown reason, I really love this stuff. Anyway, here's a copy of the fstab. It's Mandrake6 and the goal for this week is get both floppies working in user. Now just for s**ts and grins I'll explain the process in detail in Windows. Step 1. Turn your computer on Step 2.
