Hello,

I'm new here in this forum, so this is my first question.

I've took a new hard-disk and installed Knoppix 3.8.1 on this disk.
My problem is: I cannot mount a floppy-disk (same with cdrom).
What I do:
in KDE I click on the icon
I can hear some movements of the head in the floppy-drive
I get a message by KDE:
- cannot execute command
- file:/mnt/floppy does not exist

By switching to a console I can see in /mnt:
lrwxrwxrwx floppy -> /mnt/auto/floppy

and /mnt/auto is empty but I cannot create the directory in there.

What am I doing wrong here?
A link to a FAQ is sufficient.

Thanks.
