[newbie] Writing to floppy disc

[Andrew Barnes]

Sorry I'd forgot to mention that you won't get a response if the chmod
command is successful - no news is good news :)

Unfortunately I haven't used Konqueror in a long time nor do I have a system
handy to test at the moment - I'm hoping someone will chime in with some
help on that issue.

PS: Don't forget to unmount the floppy drive when you take the floppy out:
umount /mnt/floppy

Hi Andrew I've now figured out that I can copy and paste from Konsole to
email and vice versa.

chmod u+rwx /mnt/floppy When I do this as root it seems to be accepted,
no response, back to prompt. I have copied a file (as root) from
/home/usr/Documents to /mnt/floppy. I can not read the file through
konquerer - permission is denied. There is a padlock symbol on the file
icon in konquerer.

[bryan@d206-116-251-229 mnt]$ cd /mnt ; ls -l | grep floppy
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 May 11 17:09 floppy/
[bryan@d206-116-251-229 mnt]$

It seems as if I can't tell the system I am the User. Therre's only me.
