won't mount floppy
Hi! I've just installed Ubuntu, seems to be working fine in general, but two problems:
1) It won't mount my floppy disk drive. This is a MAJOR problem for me. The specific error message is:
Warning: device /dev/sda is already handled by /etc/fstab, supplied label is ignored
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
Error: could not execute pmount
2)I created a user as instructed during the installation process. Now that's all I can log in as. I need access to the owner (root) priviledges. I suspect I'd be able to sort out the floppy issue if I had this.
Sorry if these problems sound dim-I'm learning about computers as I go along, and have some massive gaps in my knowledge!
