Mounting Floppy Drive
Dell Latitude Cpx
500Mh prosessor
128 Mb RAM
20Gb hard drives
Duel boot Windows 2000pro and SuSE 8.1 pro
Hi
I am having trouble mounting the floppy drive on my laptop.
I have a inter changeable media bay that allows me to swap the CD drive for a floppy drive the problem is although I can save to floppy if I use Kwrite, I can not mount an icon on the desktop, or use the floppy to save Open Office documents.
Here what I have tried so far, I first swap the CD bay for the Floppy drive and then boot up, I then log on as root, then enter this command in Konsole,
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 00
The reply I receive is this,
linux:~ # /dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
bash: /dev/fd0: Permission denied
And if I just try, mount /floppy I receive this,
linux:~ # mount /floppy
mount: can't find /floppy in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
I have also tried using these commands in user, with same result.
Any suggestions would be very welcome .
