Felix,

Try executing "lshw -C disk". This will output information about your disk hardware. Look for the device that "probably" looks like this: "/dev/fd#" (# represents a digit). That's probably your floppy drive. Then create a directory somewhere, like /mnt/floppy. Now you're ready to mount. Execute mount /dev/fd# /mnt/floppy. Voila!

Felix,

I meant to precede the commands with "sudo" of course.

Can you help with this problem?
