file:/mnt/floppy does not exist

[CrashedAgain]

knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: only root can do that
knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$
knoppix@ttyp0[knoppix]$ su
root@ttyp0[knoppix]# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
mount: mount point /mnt/floppy is a symbolic link to nowhere
root@ttyp0[knoppix]#
root@ttyp0[knoppix]#


any ideas?

/mnt/floppy is probably a link to /mnt/auto/floppy which doesn't exist since it is created by the automounter
try mounting on a mount point (directory) known to exist.
if you are root:
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/test
or if you are not root:
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/test
