hey im having a problem getting my floppy to work and i keep getting this message file:/mnt/floppy so..is there a fixed for this?

Delete the icon and create a new one. right click --> create new device--> flopyy device --> tab to device and choose from drop down list /dev/fd0(floppy). That should do it. To open select mount and then click on the icon. If that does not work then do:

ln -sf /dev/fd0 /floppy from root.

that didnt work =(, anything esle to try?

[rrfish72]

What type of install did you do?

What did it say when you tried to mount it? right click-->mount

Remember you have to have a disc in the drive to mount it.

im running the live cd i didnt install anything but i like to save my settings on floppy but the floppy drive isnt workin.

i get this message when i try to mount it,

could not mount device

the reported error was:

mount: mount point /mnt/auto/floppy does not exist

[rrfish72]

The auto shouldn't be there. What does it say in the drop down tab described before?

Post your fstab. Should be in /etc. Devices-->hda3-->etc-->fstab

First open an editor and do this. Must be in root to make any changes to it.
