saving to a floppy
(OS) RH 7.3
If i want to save a file to floppy then it's /mnt/floppy right?? but when I do that it just saves the file there but not in the floppy drive. do i need to put a file path in there? what is it? |
you may have to mount the floppy first you can do this a few ways
1. you can use a graphical utility like kde's kwikdisk or you can do this command 2. mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy |
or just directly, mount /mnt/floppy
then just copy the file..and then of course don't forget to umount have fun, ;) |
Once mounted you can do this:
cd /directorywherefileis cp /filename /dev/fd0 You may need to su 1st depending on how you're set up. Some distributions will let you drag n drop in Konquerer or Nautilus but I dont remember if you need root privs or not.Some versions let you do this as a regular user by default,some dont.I dont think RH does. lynch |
Copy file to floppy by drag-and-drop, then UNMOUNT floppy, wait until the file is actuarly write to the floop.
