I know the risks, etc but I want it there. Question 2: I have just done a fresh Knoppix install and I cant seem to access the floppy drive. When I click on it, I can hear it trying to access the floppy but it comes up with error file:/mnt/floppy doesnt exist. I know the FDD works coz I used it about 3 hours ago in XP... Thanks Hong
