I don't know how access floppy drive in linux.We have sun-micro systems in our college.To access floppy drive i went to /home/floppy/ directory, but there r many folders named such as 'unnamed floppy #1,#2 and so on.How to find out the folder that actually refers to floppy drive. And also once i lost the contents of my floppy when i placed it in drive actauly they r over written by some other files.

Hi Ravi,
U can use "mount /dev/fd0' (if the entry is there in fstab then ) this should normally mount your floppy. for rest of the options you should do 'man mount' and before removing the floppy u should do 'umount /dev/fd0'
Well , it seems that u must be accessing sun-microsystems remotely. In that case if you are not root then it may not be possible for you to use this command , as it is a priviledged one.
Enjoy , --tapesh
