accessing floppy drive
When using a floppy to load configuration files at the start up of Knoppix (which works very well), I noticed that the floppy drive icon is no longer present on the desktop. How would I access the floppy for saving files when using the floppyconfig option??
Thanks

accessing floppy, part 2
Or, to put it another way: How can I put the floppy icon back on the KDE desktop after using it for a 'floppyconfig' startup. I want to remove the config floppy after starting up and put the drive icon back on the screen with a new floppy inserted for saving files, etc.
Thanks again, all. Knoppix is great, and runs perfectly on my 1.2 Ghz Dell!

I do this all the time as we can't save our source code on the CD....
Anyway, I don't use the floppy icon, I just open the home folder and search for /mnt/floppy using Konqueror or open a shell and
ls /mnt/floppy
or
ls -l /mnt/auto/floppy
or
cp /mnt/floppy/fyfile.cc .
or
cp myfile.cc /mnt/floppy
etc.
Regards,
