I set up everything needed for a normal user to mount a FDD according to the handbook. I booted up the box, type "mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 ~/floppy" and it said I dont have the permission. Then, I su and do that again. Then umount the drive. Exit from su to return to a normal user. And I tried the above command again and this time I successfully mounted the drive. Is this normal? --- Choy Kho Yee url: http://dotkoyi.infoseek.ne.jp/ blog: http://dotkoyi.blogspot.com/ Have you had your apple today?
