When I clcik on my floppy drive icon in Debian it says I need to specify the file type.
How do I do this?
Thanks again!

at console:
"mnt -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy"
(if it is a dosdisk thatis)

Guess you could change the command for the icon to do that...

Can't this also be taken care of if /etc/fstab?
So that when you want to mount your dos floppy, all you need to do is mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy? Or even easier... mount /dev/fd0?
