I thought I had a lot of problems with my floppy, but it turns out I just have one. Anyone with floppy set to auto in fstab try this and see if you get the same results I do. Go to K menu, Configuration, Hardware, Floppy Formatter. Do a full format with the ext2 file system. Unless I su to root and use mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy, I can't mount it with the icon or the terminal. If I format it in DOS everything works fine. TIA, Randy Donohoe
