Saving to Floppy HOW ??

[Samtallboy]

I got linux running yesterday and l wanted to save a text file created in KDE's simple text editor to a floppy but got lost in the save box. How do l save things to the floppy? :confused:

The drive is mounted at bootup and appears in etc/fstab. In dir mnt the cd and floppy appear but don't show contents if clicked on etc.

many thanx

If your cd and floppy are mounted at bootup like you say, all you have to do is insert a cd or floppy into the drive and then go to the directory where they are mounted. Like ' /mnt/cd or /mnt/floppy ' and look into them and you should see the contents of their root directories.

As for kde's save box, all you probably have to do is give a complete path list and file name.

Example: ' /mnt/floppy/foo.txt '

The ' /mnt/floppy ' part is the path list indicating that you want to store the file in the root directory of the floppy. The ' foo.txt ' part is the file name.
