[Liverpool] Mounting floppy in Ubuntu

[Andy Carter]

Hi Anthony,

In Ubuntu I believe that you have to use sudo instead of su, and use the 
password that you entered during the initial setup.

I'm afraid that I can't help with the wireless issue.  Although I'm a 
SuSE10 fan, I don't have any wireless devices.

Regards

Andy
