The floppy module should exist anyway, just not being autoloaded like it should. Look for a file called floppy.o in /lib/modules/2.0.36/block/. To get the file to load at boot time, place a line with the text 'floppy' in /etc/modules. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
