    how to mount floppy drive?

    when I try to mount from the command line using: "mount /dev/fd0",
    the reply says that the related lines in "fstab" file can not be found.
    what are these lines? should I append them to the file myself?
    Thanks a lot.

    yes. add an entry for floppy drive in fstab file.
    Code:
    /dev/fd0       /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0 0
    if mount point /media/floppy0 is not there, create one.
    in case it doesn't work, post the contents of /etc/fstab file.

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
