FLOPPY DISK DRIVE

Fedora Core 1

The floppy disk drive connects via a USB interface. Fedora Core 1 should already have created a directory to mount it in (/mnt/floppy); if not, create it manually as root:

$ mkdir /mnt/floppy

Then you can mount/unmount the floppy disk using:

$ mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy
$ umount /dev/sda

Alternatively, Usermount allows you to mount and unmount drives via a graphical interface. Simply type usermount in command mode, and select the drive you want to mount/unmount. You do not have to be root in that case.
