Post what ls -la /dev/fd0 gives. What it should look like:
rrfish72@rrfish72:~$ ls -la /dev/fd0
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 Nov 14 2003 /dev/fd0
Probably delete the icon and create a new one. Right click -->Create new --> device -->floppy.
Hopefully that should do it.
brw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/fd0
Did you create a new icon? I think you have to add the user to the group for permission to use it. Can do that through Kuser. K --> system --> Kuser.
Hi All,
hmmmm, asking me for a password..what password..? haven't set any yet...choosing ingnore gives a no access error...what gives here..? Cheers

Go to root terminal and do passwd. It will ask you to enter a neww one then confirn then your system root password is set.
it asks for the current 1 for authentication...lol...Windows was never so tough..hehe
There is one terminal that will allow you to do it. Try other ones. root shell, console. Also, see the sticky on the top of this forum.
Hi All,
ok, I set a new pass. Deleted the old icon. Remounted a new one. Set the permissions for the group, floppy and now, when clicking the icon, I get the following,
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: mount point /mnt/auto/floppy does now exist
Have to edit your fstab because it's showing the wrong mount point.
The mount point should be /floppy and the device should be /dev/fd0.
post your fstab

Knoppix will auto creat the fstab to point to /mnt/auto/floppyQuote:

So, where does that leave me..? Cheers.

Hi All,
sorry, I don't get it, did I do something to make you do that..? I just didn't understand what to do. Cheers.

Check these files:
1) /etc/auto.master:
Code:# Sample auto.master file
# Format of this file:
# mountpoint map options
# For details of the format look at autofs(5).
# /var/autofs/misc /etc/auto.misc
# /var/autofs/net /etc/auto.net
#
# KNOPPIX automounts for floppy and cdrom(s), see knoppix-autoconfig
# /mnt/auto /etc/auto.mnt --timeout=2
/mnt/auto /etc/automount.sh --timeout=2
2) /etc/auto.misc

# The following entries (if any) are auto-generated by knoppix-autoconfig
5) /etc/rc5.dCode:/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
See if symlink to autofs exist.
If doesn't exist, add by running this command: update-rc.d autofs defaults
You need to reboot after doing the editing.
Good luck
:D :D :D :D
Hi All,
k, so my files should look the same, eys..? Cheers.
p.s. sorry for the repetitive Qs.
