Hey Roger, you can mount FAT floppies under Linux. I would make a folder under /mnt called something like floppy or whatever, then run the command:Sent on behalf of Janet who has just joined from the Linuxathome yahoo group and taken to plunge in trying RH9. Hi We have a problem with a Motorola SM56 PCI Speakerphone. The wizard does not find it on the newly installed RH 9 system. We have found a drive on the Motorola site at http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/driver.htm via http://www.linmodems.org and since the system is dual boot I have recommended saving to floppy but I'm not sure of the exact steps from there. There are some short instructions but I'm not sure they will work if the RPM is on a floppy. Could someone please explain / expand on how to to get the RPM installed and the modem working. But please keep the steps Newbie sized. This will enable another member to join the Linux community and no doubt me to learn a bit as well. Thanks in advance.
Roger
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
This works on my system here. When I then have a look at /mnt/floppy, I can see all the FAT files.
Before you take the floppy back out, run:
umount /dev/fd0
to unmount the device.
For more information use:
man mount
regards, Ed.
