[Liverpool] Mounting floppy in Ubuntu

[LALAYNG at aol.com]

The first comand, mkdir floppy worked.
 
The last two commands seemed hopeful, though it insisted on being  root.
When I installed the Ubuntu I make no provision for root permission, so I  do 
not know the root password; hence I cannot execute the "mount -t"  commands.
 
Any help?
 
On the wireless, it is an ASUS WL-138g PCI adaptor that works very well  
under Windows, but has no Linux drivers.  I have tried endless combinations  of 
ndiswrapper attempts, but all fail with the final comment "no such file or  
directory"
 
I have ordered a new wireless card, Edimax EW-7128g that looks promising  for 
Linux users, and, it is claimed will work "out of the box" if the Linux is  
of the SuSE 10 flavour.
 
I shall let everyone know in a few days if all is well.  As far as I  am 
concerned, if I can get the Internet to run under Linux, I will have gained  the 
Holy Grail in computing terms!
 
Thanks
 
Anthony
