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

["The PC-Zone" <pczone@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all for the help, I got it to work finally.
I had to use this command;

mount /dev/fd0/mnt/floppy

Verses this command that some one sent me

mount -t msdos/dev/fd0/mnt/floppy

Once again thank you all for your help
