i did have data cd and diskette in drive. as it turned out, i needed to delete /etc/ptmp and /etc/gtmp exist to get to userdrake. then i added the groups cdrom2 and floppy to user "iggy". while the icon shows locked for the floppy drive, i am able to use it normally. thank you (and everybody else) who took the time to help me. -iggy
