[aclug-L] Re: accessing the floppy drive from linux

["kai & steven Hallacy" <enginear@xxxxxxxxx>]

Oh Oh.  Guess what.  I don't have an entry for my floopy drive in /etc/fstab.

I have the following in /etc/fstab:

dev/hda3
dev/hda4
proc

What should I do?

Thanks,

Steven Hallacy

if your floppy has an entry in /etc/fstab the all you need to do
is type mount /dev/fd0 then go to the mount point.
normally the mount point is /mnt/floppy or something like that.

startx starts X

they are editors, they come with most distributions.
there are other editors, i use vi.
choice of editors is one of those flame wars things.
just find something your comfortable with.
