RE: Linux versus floppy WHOOPS Correction!
This is a corrected version:
If you are using the command line then:
remove any floppy that is in the drive after you type in this
this un mount command make sure you type "umount" .
umount /dev/fd0
place the window floppy in the drive and mount the floppy
using this command this will use the correct driver the
vfat is a windows floppy type for read and write v is verbose mode
the mountpoint can be any directory; some systems use /floppy; If
you don't know what to use you can use mkdir /winfloppy .
mount -tvfat -vrw /dev/fd0 /any_mountpoint_point
Now type the following command to copy a file to the floppy
cp somefile /any_mountpoint_point
The information for mounting the default devices on your system are kept
in /etc/fstab file.
You can get information about the mount, umount or any command
or configuration file information by typing the following
manual command if the file scrolls off the screen | more .
man fstab | more
If you want to work on the command line its easier to use
midnight commander which is called mc I don't know if was shipped
on your CD but you can download it from the Web just find a version
for your system in RPM format and it will be easy to install.
Hope this helps.
