Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Mounting the floppy

Bill,
When I looked at the files they looked like this,
For etc/mtab:

/etc/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount rw, fs=vfat, dev=/dev/fd0 00

For etc/fstab:
/ect/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 00.

How does this look?
The "mkdir /mnt/samename", do I add this to fstab as a last line?
Also, when I go into mtab or fstab I get this

etc/mtab
etc/mtab~
etc/mtab~~

everytime I go into the file I get additional ~ Sorry about the basic dumb
questions, but I'm afraid you'll have to spoon feed me
