I know from Gnome, you can double click on the "Computer" icon, and ether double click or right click on the floppy icon and click mount. You end up with an icon on the desktop for the floppy, and it mounted in /media. (On my system, double clicking on the floppy icon opens up a file window, but for the root file system, not on the floppy itself.) You can also run "gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0" and it will get mounted off of a directory in /media. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
