[newbie] Floppy drive mount problem
I am trying out Red Hat 6.0 and everything is greta except when I use the mount drive icon or the terminal to get to a floopy disk it tells me "mount /mnt/floppy 21" reported: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many mounted file systems.

I fixed that floppy mounting problem, but I still don't have any sound. I have turned it on in everywhere I know, but I still don't have sound.

Re: [[newbie] Thanks for RAM help]
To get Caldera, and every other Linux I assume, you add append = "mem=128M" to you lilo.conf witch is probably in your /etc directory, then go to a terminal window and typr /sbin/lilo , and finally reboot. If you already have an append statement, just put a space between the last thin in quotes and you mem=128M.
