Hello to all who replied to my request on mounting a floppy. I took the
advice that I was given and used 'mtools' instead. As pointed out, there

I'm sure some LINUX guru will see this as a challenge and come up
Just check to see if you have the following,
ls /media
cdrom cdrom0 floppy floppy0
The following are symlinks, cdrom floppy, they just point to the directories
ending in 0.
If there isn't a floppy/floppy0 just create them (as superuser) then see if you
