(this assumes 'a:' is the one you want and that you don't mind mounting at /mnt). Then copy files from /mnt using ordinary cp command. Don't forget to 'umount /mnt' before removing the floppy! ...Or, install mtools from the ports/packages and access the drive with 'mdir a:', 'mcopy a:\filename .' etc. It make life easier really since you don't need to explicitly mount (or umount) the diskette every time. In toto: man mount or man mtools after install of mtools /M ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.1 ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
