I use the following line in my fstab file: > /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 msdos rw,user,noauto 0 0
Then (as george) I mount the floppy disk thusly: > sudo mount -t msdos -o owner /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 But when I attempt to write to the floppy, it turns out to be write- protected. And debian won't let me mount it just as george ("Only root can do that"). Incidentally, if I look at a not-empty floppy, I can see its contents and copy them with the file browser. And I've checked to be sure that its little block hasn't been shifted to open the write- protect hole. Is this what I should be doing to mount the floppy ? > sudo mount -t msdos -o george /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 Puzzled in PA George Langford -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
