Look for a directory called .. - two full stops. Double click on this and you will be in the /home directory. Double click on it again and you will be in the / root directory on top of the tree. /mnt should then be visible and you are home and hosed. By the way some programs want you to select the directory then press a filter button. Hope this helps. Michael Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

you may also need to add yourself to the floppy group (if you aren't logging in as 'root', depending on how you are setup. By default (in certain security levels), users do not have permission to use the floppy or the cdrom. This can easily be accomplished via linuxconf, or any of a number of other gui based system configuration tools.
