How do I mount moduals

[drocker]

How do I mount a floppy it says not mounted, also I have sound card-soundblaster live value?I have downloaded driver for it, but not mounted. I have read articles about mounting but can't seem to get to work.Must be doing something wrong!Can anyone explain simply? The Corel Linux for dummies book doesn't explain or I'm missing how. Thanks much! Sorry, I have a dual boot machine Win98/Corel Linux. I don't get any errors,it says in the control center (no floppy mounted same for cd-rom.I dont get any error messages about sblive(don't know were to look).I also need to mount a Netgear NIC. I am sorry I left out info, Please let me know if you need more! Thanks again

Ok.
It would help if you gave us some info, mainly:

* What distribution you are using.
* What errors you get when trying to mount your floppy drive.
* What problems and errors you get when trying to install and load the module for the SBLive!

If you give us this info, we iwll be able to help you.

Hi,thanks,I've got a dual boot machine Win 98/Corel Linux.As for the floppy error I don't know,it has no error, (it says not mounted),as for the sblive no errors either don't know how to mount or were to look for errors! Also I need to mount a CD/Rom and a Netgear NIC! Sorry I left out info if you need more by all means let me know! I really appreciate any HELP! Thanks again.

To mount a floppy:
"ls /mnt" to see if there is a floppy directory there,
if not you have to make one:
"mkdir /mnt/floppy".

then
"mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy"
(if it is a ms-formatted floppy thatis).

To mount the cd first find out where cd is. If it is primary slave its called hdb, secondary master hdc and secondary slave hdd.
Then look if there is a mount point in /mnt
("ls /mnt") if not create one:
"mkdir /mnt/cdrom"

then mount it:
"mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdx /mnt/cdrom"
hdx chould be replaced with your cd name as mentioned above.
