if you have used apt-get to install autofs, you can out-of-the box just cd /var/autofs/misc/floppy
if you want to get to it from /floppy, you could ln -s /var/autofs/misc/floppy /floppy if don't really want to bother with the /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.misc files... but if you do, just man autofs it is pretty simple, really :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Voigt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 10:08 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: setting up autofs > > > I installed autofs.
