[Liverpool] Mounting floppy in Ubuntu

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

> It is not a weird floppy type ( the Mandrake install mounts it

Open a terminal window and type

mkdir floppy
mount /dev/fd0 floppy

It may moan at this point either about having to be root or that it's
not in fstab. If it moans about not being root, su and try the mount
command again. If it now moans about the disc not being recognised try

mount -t fat /dev/fd0 floppy or mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 floppy

If it still moans, report back here.

On the wireless, you need to know what the chipset is inside of the
wireless device before you can do much.

TTFN
