Hmm...

but I still get the response "Only root
can do that"

what was the exact command?

What about " mount /media/floppy "
OR " mont /dev/fd0 "

Don't say " mount /dev/fd0 /some/place" # with two arguments

Good luck, Holger


Hmmm!
I was using the command

mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy

I got the "Only root can do that" response - (It does work as "root")

At your advice I tried

mount /media/floppy

This works! Guess I don't understand why the old way does not!
Thanks though for the solution. - Paul
