Floppy icon missing!!!!

[Benoit Cordoba]

Alright, I tried the command but an error came up: "mount: mount point /floppy does not exist"   When I was messing around trying to format the floppy in Linux format I right clicked on the desktop icon and selected delete.  Insteat of the expected result the icon dissappeared.  This was when I was logged in as root.  So....  How do I get the icon back?  Or is that the problem?   Thanks for the help.     ----- Original Message ----- From: John Blackmore To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 2:54 PM Subject: RE: Install problems! format floppy in win 98, then   mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 (?) /floppy   Sorry, can't remember the device for the floppy drive. I think you can DOS format a floppy in Linux too.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Benoit Cordoba Sent: Monday, August 07, 2000 4:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Install problems! Hi everyone.   I am brand new to RH and Linux.  I just did an install of RH 6.1 on a new Dell.  I have problems with the sound card.  I went to the mail server archives and got some answers.  The Montego cards needs the new drivers from aureal.  So I downloaded them using win98.  I copied the file (a tar.zip file) on a floppy and tried to have it read by Linux.  No go.  I get an error.  I finally found how to format a floppy in Linux thinking it would be read by Win 98 but no go.   So how do I exchange files between Win and Linux on floppies??!!   I don't have a network access and I am still trying to configure my ppp connection (modem busy!  Any help there would be greatly appreciated).   Also I changed the perms to the /dev/mixer (as root) but when I log back-in as root or another user the perms are gone!   Hugh?!  Can anyone explain that to me.   Thanks for any and all help.   Benoit Cordoba
