Are there any good programs that use the picon* packages (personal

you need to mkdir /floppy

If it's a msdos disk, then:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
the man pages will tell you other -t flags, and some can be auto-detected.

Hi,
It was my mistake. It should be SyJET drive. (From where
I sit, I can only see "SyQUEST") :)
The reason that I was looking for such thing was that NT4.0
can eject the catridge from the popup menu and I thought that
there maybe a command do just that.
Thanks!

Hi,

I use ssh and rsh a lot from my hamm boxes to Sparc hosts running solaris.
If I ssh from my linux console into a solaris host, the display settings

All you need to do is mount the device:
I can't remember the exact syntax but is something like this:
