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

[Lowell Premer <lowell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I ididn't know that mount wouldn't put your /dev/fd0 wherever you told it 
to; I'd never tried to ount the floppy anywhere except /mnt/floppy.
Try your mount command w/ /mnt/floppy as the target directory; your files 
are going there anyway, so it should work...
        THEN, when you're done cp-ing, run your command THIS WAY(!!!!)
                
                umount /dev/fd0
        
        BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT UNMOUNTING THE TARGET DIRECTORY, YOU'RE 
        UNMOUNTING THE DEVICE THAT IS MOUNTED ON THAT DIRECTORY

        (Emphasis not for you, for others)
