[newbie] Writing to floppy disc

[Bryan]

I am using Mandrake 9.2 and KDE. I can't figure out how to copy or save
files to /mnt/floppy. I am able to format a floppy disc though.

There is a small padlock symbol on the desktop icon for the floppy drive
and the screen for setting permissions under Properties is greyed out -
not accessible. But, I notice the box for writing is blank.

Can anyone telll me how to save or copy to the floppy disc? Change the
necessary permissions?

Thanks,

Bryan
