Peter;
I'm getting the same error messages. The way I got around it was to create two
new folders under "/mnt". I probably should have used the originals "cdrom2
and floppy", but; I'm new to linux and didn't want to screw anything up.
Anyways, I created "cdrw" and "afloppy", then;
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/afloppy
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrw
Worked like a champ. But, what a pain typing all this in each time. I will be
looking into something a little easier. But, for the meantime; it'll do. I
have other fish to fry. Hope this helps.
Bruce :-)
