Assuming that you own this system, just put yourself in the group 'wheel' (/etc/group) then create a directory (herein called a mount point) in your home directory where you'll be mounting the floppy disk. I suggest you call it floppy3 admin:~$ less /etc/group | grep wheel wheel:*:0:root,admin So go to where this wheel is and add your username there..it becomes wheel:*:0:root,admin,your_login_name Then in your home directory, mkdir /floppy3 You can use the 'sudo' command to mount the floppy disk now. Put it in the drive and type sudo mount_msdos /dev/fd0 floppy3 It asks for a password - just type the same password you always login with as this particular user and press ENTER Now you can read/write to from/to floppy disk. cd floppy3 ls -al cp filea some_destination_directory less file_name anything..... NB: Before removing the floppy from the drive please please remember to UNMOUNT it.... type cd to get out from it, then sudo umount floppy3 Key in the password again and press ENTER. Now you can eject the floppy. =>I m using Creative =>Vibra 128 bits sound card , i m eager to configure my =>sound card ...pls someone help me in going abt the =>configuration.... Sorry I have no idea about this. Someone else may assist....
