I'm not sure if it affects this, but there should be two more columns in the end of both lines, like this (read man page for more information):
Code:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
Does it work if you just use the complete mount command, without having the fstab entries (with a floppy in drive and the directory /mnt/floppy/ created)?
Code:
mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
if it does work, read the man page of fstab carefully trough, and if it does not work, the problem relies (most probably) in the device file.
I tried all you said, but I still got:
mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device.
Thank you, Matir!
I have a floppy in the drive, so the only reason looks like my kernel doesn't support floppy. How can I make the kernel support floppy. My system is:
Linux asun.crisys.com 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 #1 Tue Mar 14 15:48:33 EST 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
I got the floppy mounted. I made a terrible mistake. I actually removed the floppy, but I thought it was there.
I feel so helpful from people here, I have a warm feeling from all help.
I come to next problem, did anyone here experience with Umbrello? From its README, it says: Umbrello UML Modeller is a UML diagramming tool for KDE. Does it mean I have to logging into KDE, then go to install it?
Amy, you should really start a new thread for new questions so that people know what the subject of the post is.
However the short answer to your question is no you do not have to log in to kde. It will install just fine from gnome.
Just so you know almost all applications, regardless of gnome, kde or what have you will run under the different window managers. The repositories will install the correct libraries. You may have to start it from the command line though or create your own desktop shortcut to it.

That wasn't so short but you get the picture.
Thanks, xjlittle!
I installed Umbrello, and I got a submenu from Applications --> Programming --> Umbrello, I started the application by clicking here. After I ran it, I found it is not the application that can do what I need to do. So I wanted to uninstall it. I use "make clean", but it does not completely remove the application. What is the best way to remove an application if it is installed by "make install"? also if an application was installed by rpm, should I keep the rpm file for uninstalling it later someday?
Sorry to ask so many questions. I appreciate your help very much!
