a) Your questions have nothing to do with Linux networking. Why did you post
on a newsgroup devoted to that topic?
b) You don't say what distribution you are using but whatever it is, you
should post on one of the groups that is aimed at beginners using that
distribution.

This is off topic, so from now on, I'd post it in a nother ng. But you're a
newbie..and we all were at one point, so I'll help 'ya out this once :)
okay, unlike windows, you cannot just click on a drive, you have to mount it
first. (actually windows does mount them, but its automatic)
okay, here is how to mount the cdrom (assuming ide)
hda = primary master
hdb = primary slave
hdc = second master
hdd = second slave
okay, for me (you will have to make changes)
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
This is how you mount the cdrom
# mount -t [fs type] /dev/fd0 /mnt/cdrom
This is for the floppy
-------------
okay, to get to the files on the disk
the directory /mnt/cdrom contains the cdrom, and /mnt/floppy --the floppy.
you may need to make these directories if they do not already exsist. You
could also mount them in something compleatly different.
Hope this gets you on the right track..
