Re: How do i us a Floppy Disk in Linux

[Rohit Srivastava <rohit_kumars@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi aditya
If U're using gnome with KDE then U can use kfloppy to
format and make file system. In order to use it U can
right click the floppy icon on the desktop and select
mount device and there it goes! the directory
/mnt/floppy is your floppy disk....
alternatively U can mount the device by 
mount /dev/fd0 or 
mount /dev/fd0 -t <filesystem> /mnt/floppy if
automatically doesnt recognises your file system on
the disk. Archan has already described how to format
and make a filesystem on a new disk....
