Open Floppy dir

amer_58 · 03-16-2005, 09:15 AM

After I mount my floppy:

# mount /mnt/floppy

How can I run a command that will open a window listing all the files that are located in my floppy disk?

e.g on windows .. go to run -> and type a: will open a window listing all the files.

Thanks.

just open up a window that goes to your home directory and in your location bar, type in
"/mnt/floppy"

Got it done, but cant it be done using shell?

It sure can be done but the command isn't the right one. Assuming that your floppy disk is represented by /dev/fd0, it should be:

Code:

mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
ls -al /mnt/floppy

You can mount a drive not necessarily in /mnt. Just make sure that the directory is created first.
