Trying to download a device driver (or anything else), and save it to my floppy drive. I tried dropping it on the floppy drive and recieved an error, Invalid URI. That's all it said. Is there a program for this? New to Linux, laymans terms please. Gnome 2.14.3, Ubuntu 6.06. Thanks.

What program are you using to download this driver?

not sure, is the floppy formatted correctly?

Doing this the drag-n-drop way goes something like this;

From the top bar(whatever it's called?) click on places-> computer. There should be a large floppy icon and also a smaller floppy icon to the left (on a sort of sidebar). If the floppy needs to be formatted the option can be found with a right click.

When you have a formatted floppy double click the smaller floppy icon on the left. This will "mount" the floppy. In a short while a new icon should appear on the desktop. Now you should be able to do the drop. Do NOT remove the floppy before "unmounting", available as a right click option.

Can't tell you if this is the simplest gui way but it is workable.

I'm totally new to linux. After I learned about mounting and unmounting, I realized I forgot to format! Then when I did I realized I just had a bad disk (Note to SELF, your an idiot.), but all panned out. Thanks for the help.
