I'm running Red Hat Linux 6.1, and are a complete newbie to it, Actualie first time i workt on linux was yesterday... I've found out that the only way to get files from my floppys was to mount them, but when i change the floppy the directory tree does not change and i have to Umont and then mount again. Is there an easier way to do this?? And can I auto mount on boot up??

nope, there isnt an easier way.

Some Linux distributions, eg Mandrake, have a "supermount" feature which automatically mount and unmounts drives but this was dropped in the latest Mandrake release 8.1 because of reported errors. Most distributions, including the bigger sellers such as Red Hat and SuSE need to have drives mounted/unmounted. You soon get used to the discipline.

Ive found an easier way to do this, Just use an text editor and write: mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy (this is with dos/windows floppys change vfat to ext2 or somthing else if the floppy isent dos/windows formated) and save it as "floppydos" then goto command line and type: chmod 700 floppydos Then you can just duble click on it and the disk a: is mounted Then open up your text editor again and write: umount /mnt/floppy save it as "ufloppy" enter command line modus and enter: chmod 700 ufloppy then you can just duble click and a: is unmounted much easier than writing it every time you want to change a floppy.
