You could try to either: mount /mnt/floppy before cd to it, you could try to delete your desktop floppy icon and recreate it, or you could try: supermount -i enable. One little trick I've learned for the stubborn cases is: if after you cd /mnt/floppy and still can't read it, s to /mnt and then cd floppy. Don't know why, but it sometimes helps. -s
