Re: help usb floppy

["Tyler J. Evans" <te8 axe humboldt edu>]

Two more questions for you Mette, 

What is the output of /sbin/fdisk -l /dev/sda ??

Assuming the kernel saw the device and loaded a driver, maybe you mount 
with the command mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/floppy  ??

i.e.  'sda1', not sda

te
