Possibly you have to mount the floppy first, Oo may not be starting the automounter. Can you access the disk using the desktop 'floppy' icon?
I have just installed knoppix 3.6 to my hard drive I am trying to open an office 2000 document from a floppy but when in OO I use file>open but cannot see anything when I try to go via floppy
I cannot open any disks I get the above msg file:/mnt/floppy...
Help appreciated as this is my girlfriends resume and i am copping grief about OS change I am happy tho

How do i mount the floppy?
I cannot access the floppy by the desktop floppy icon either
'sudo mount /dev/fd0 ' should do it but I suspect something else is wrong & it's not detecting your floppy drive.Originally Posted by flebber
Do you have this line in your /etc/fstab file?
Are you getting any error messages?Code:/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
i logged into root
it showed
root@box:/home/flebber I entered in the line you showed but i was denied permission
as
bash: /dev/fd0 ermission denied
I sounds like knoppix is not detecting your floppy drive. When you start up you should see a line ( in green) 'Automounter started for cdrom floppy'. Is it there?
Do you have a /dev/fd0? Check with 'ls /dev/fd0'? You should get a response '/dev/fd0'. Do you have the line quoted above in your /etc/fstab file? Check with 'cat /etc/fstab'.
Try 'sudo mount /floppy' (or just 'mount /floppy' if you're already root). If you don't get any error message the try 'ls /floppy'. If the disk is mounted you should get a directory. Here's what I get with a disk which has a file called nddundo.dat on it:
root@1[knoppix]# mount /floppy
root@1[knoppix]# ls /floppy
nddundo.dat
root@1[knoppix]# umount /floppy
root@1[knoppix]# ls /floppy
root@1[knoppix]# ls /dev/fd0
/dev/fd0
root@1[knoppix]#
yes the above line is in there but before it I get
/dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount -ro 0 1
then the above line follows
for is /dev/fd0 I rec no such bash: is: command not found
To the list and crashed;
I have long been botheed ( more like stalked ) by a hacker. I have been using Knoppix to keep the hacker at bay. The identical problem that you are having I am as well. This is not CD or corrupt files on the CD or OS. It is the deliberate actions of a hacker to delete your files. I did run the following on my machine and this is the output for those that are inerested in this.
By the way if anyone can help us in resetting up our security after we have been hacked that would be very greatly appreciated.
thanks again

To the list;
I have lost root a long time ago. I just get by, using a few different machines and try to keep them off the net. Knoppix can be hacked. I think that they get access to root remotely, then they shut down the security. They can then tamper with all kinds of things. Sound card, PCI card, BIOS settings and prevent a number of applications from running or running right.
You would think that the ramdisk would flush everything but it doesn't. I removed my hard drive and so I run solely on the CD. It at least functions whereas HD's don't last one day on this machine. They are almost immediately hacked off the net. Usually it takes about a month to hack down my Knoppix live CD's.I have been using a BSD live CD and Knoppix 3.6 to reset my settings after they have been heavily hacked. I primarity use Knoppix 3.3 on the net and load up the others offline and then return with Knoppix 3.3 and just allow them to hack that version.This doesn't always work but I have these little tricks that keep me online but I am no programmer and so eventually I am shutdown but then there are new CD's to try. Then I am back into the game again and I start all over with this hacker. I don't know him/her and have no clue as to what its about. Some kind of game, maybe but this is how I cope with it.
Now I said I lost root a long time ago and its true. This is because of the matter of being able to create a persistent directory. Hackers know this and so they create one and lock you out. Then they make funky settings and whatever???
To get back root is a key to this problem and then secure it so that these file deletions do not occur. This also means no remote root. How can we get back root and deny all remote access to this with Knoppix?
let me know
thanks again
