The entire Page 5 in the archive hasn't gotten to my computer.
I stopped recieving Debian mail on the 13th.
I am using:
fetchmail 6.2.5 (build from stock ESR tree, forgot to check debian
archives)
exim 3.35-1
mutt 1.3.28-2.2
I can send mail to my ISP account, and fetc
In case it helps... the mail has magically resumed coming to me.

Just do:
mount /floppy
mount is suid root, so sudo is unnecessary, and if you use 2 or more
args, mount _completely ignores_ the fstab. Mount DOES check
permissions, so if you want to do something nonstandard, say:
sudo mount -t fat -o uid=42 /dev/fd0 /floppy
