Floppy Drive

[Roobbster]

I'm new to Linux and I was wandering if anyone could tell me how to view files on my floppy drive. I have managed to mount fd0, but when I do a "cat" in the command line it brings up the contents of each file, not which files are on the floppy. whenI try to open it in the GUI nothing happens. Any suggestions.........?

ls /mnt/floppy(or wherever your floppy is mounted), check /etc/mtab to be sure

'ls' is the same as 'dir' in Dos. The man page for ls 'man ls' will tell you are the options you can use with the command.

mount the floppy 'mount /mnt/floppy', then change directory 'cd /mnt/floppy' and issue the command 'ls -al' and it will show you all the files and directories on the floppy.
