How about if the floppy in question is an >MS-DOS disk? Yes & no. /dev/fd0 is not a filesystem, but it is a raw image of whatever is in the drive. You cannot address a filesystem on a floppy by writing or reading from /dev/fd0. You can however, have home -> /mnt/floppy, but you would need a script or scripts to mount the floppy at login, and umount it at logout... (/etc/profile & ~/.bash_logout?) The filesystem could be msdos, ext2, umsdos etc.. but if msdos, you would obviously lack filesystem security... Just a theory... Bill
