mounting the floppy drive

[LinuxDistros.CJB.NET]

Hello,

I have tried several diskettes on the new KNOPPIX, but it can not see the floppy disks.

I want to save some files to the floppy drive...do I have to mount it or is it automatically mounted?

Thanks.

You could do this:

dd if=<file> of=/dev/fd0

Or this:

cat <file> /dev/fd0

To mount a floppy:

# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 (or whatever your mount point is).

Do this:

man cat
man dd

....ok....it was that the floppy was not formatted.
