[linux-help] Re: Saving to a floppy disk

["Koji Hayakawa" <sylf@xxxxxxxxx>]

If your disk is formatted in fat16/DOS format, then try mounting with type
"msdos".

mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /foo

You can access the help file (aka man page) by issuing command

man mount

Hopefully that man page will make some sense with a few years of experience
with NT.
