Re: floppy

[Douglas Bates <bates@stat.wisc.edu>]

I would add just one thing to Torsten's very complete and informative
response about mounting a floppy.  The fdutils package contains a
program called fdmount that can automate many of these steps.  In
particular, this program checks the type of filesystem on the floppy
and inserts the appropriate -t option in the mount command.
 $ type fdmount
 fdmount is /usr/bin/fdmount
 $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/fdmount
 fdutils: /usr/bin/fdmount
