Something weird is happening. I am trying to copy some email to a floppy disk but it won't. Here is what happens: knoppix@bmike1:~$ cd '/home/knoppix/Mail/Maryna/cur' knoppix@bmike1:~/Mail/Maryna/cur$ cp * /mnt/floppy knoppix@bmike1:~/Mail/Maryna/cur$ Looks good from your point of view, right? but the floppy was not accessed at all. Upon further investegation I have discovered that there is a file /mnt/floppy on my harddrive and within this file resides all the messages I wanted to go to the floppy. knoppix@bmike1:/mnt/floppy$ ls 1070092437.701.lqJF:2,RS 1070594725.594.vabU:2,S etc..... knoppix@bmike1:/mnt/floppy$ I would have liked to do this via the floppy icon on the desktop but when I tried it the response I got was: Could not write to /mnt/floppy/ Any ideas as to what I should do? Something that may help in figuring out what to do is that after a koffice application is loaded if I clik the floppy icon it accesses the disk properly. -- <:-)~MIKE~(-:> This message has been scanned for viruses by the VEI Internet Automatic Email Spam and Virus Scanner, and is believed to be free of spam or viruses.
