Thanks to Tom, the hard drive problem is sorted, Now for the floppy.
Prior to a reinstall several weeks ago (hard-drive death), the floppy
detected the filesystem type, it wasn until a couple of days ago that
the present set of problems occurred (or became noticed).
I still cannot access the floppy drive from Linux. I've messed with
/etc/fstab, and /etc/filesystems as detailed in fstab(5) or mount(8).
No success - so those files have been restored from the backup AGAIN!!
Just as an aside - wouldn't it be great if the the man pages had a few
examples <grin>
Cheers
John
