I mount the floppy using the mount app in the bootom right of the screen, then I try to access to the floppy from emelfm, but I got permission denied.
With user root no prob.
Also when I copy a file in the floppy the file name gets cutted.

legalize cannabis, etc.

Regarding the permissions problem, what does the floppy line in your /etc/fstab say?

For the other problem, I don't know what you mean by the name being cut. Is it just using a ~ to truncate file names? Give an example.

change that to
/dev/fd0 /mnt/auto/floppy auto users,noauto,exec,rw,umask=000 0 0

Also give us ls -ld /mnt/auto/floppy ,it may not have world read permissions...

Your filenames get short because you probably have a fat16 fs on the floppy, it has only 8.3 filenames, so when you umount it they immediately become 8.3 format... Either format it to ext2 or fat32

I haven't looked into this, but I'm going to guess that the mount tool is mounting your floppy as root, which means root owns it.
I'd try mounting the disk as user dsl.
