mkdir /media/floppy
mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
Jerry, what distrobution of Linux are you using? Then I could help you better when I know.
uname -a
That might show it. What's the output of all the commands and include what you typed. How long have you been using Linux? You asked me about this.
mount | grep fd
The | (shift + \ keys) is a pipe in between there. It pipes the output of one command to another. I am sending the output of mount (shows all devices currently mounted) to grep. grep then searches and only displays lines with the pattern "fd". You should check out www.linuxquestions.org and www.google.com/linux and depending on what distrobution you are, there will be some more guides and documentation.

I learned on dos and was not overjoyed when windows took over. But, I
got lazy.
It looks like neither the floppy or the cdrom is mounted.
jerry@linux-8ldg:/media> mount
/dev/hda2 on / type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5)
/dev/hda3 on /home type reiserfs (rw,acl,user_xattr)
securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)

What character on the keyboard makes the "stick" between mount and grep?
I really appreciate all the help. What section of Linux should have
taught me this language? It sure is not wine.
`mount | grep fd`.
