Hi all,
I am trying to get my floppy drive to mount. I tried editing fstab but it keeps saying i dont have permission to access fstab. Please help. Thanks

Hi
Have you tried the little Mount App at the right of the screen. After you boot it usually displays "floppy" or "hda1" and a small picture of a disk or floppy drive. Use the arrows to switch between mount points and click on the button to mount. If the mount is successful the button will turn green.
good luck

So, after clicking the mount button, my button is green. But where can I find the files on the floppy. By double click on the floppy icon, the midnight commander starts and I see the file system, but I can't find my files there!

Any suggestions?

Joe

I believe you should be able to find them under /mnt/floppy

Open up emelfm file manager and go to

/mnt/auto/floppy

If the files aren't there, go back up to

/mnt/auto

Then right-click on "floppy" and choose "Mount" from the menu.
