Mounting floppy

[kd7skx]

Hi all,

Ok, I am trying to coppy a file off a floppy into a directory. I can't seem to get the write command to mount the floppy drive in FC 3. I am only running in text mode. I dont have any fancy gnu software. It is basic stripped down. I am new to the unix game and just need some pointers. Thanks

Hi kd7skx,

That thread even got me confused. :confused:

Does typing mount /media/floppy work to mount your floppy drive?

If so, then type: cd /media/floppy to access the floppy drive.
Now you can copy the file you want by typing: cp <filename__to_copy> <path_and_directory_to_copy_to> .
Now you might want to type: umount /media/floppy to free up the floppy drive.
