Thanks for your time to look into my problem.

I'm using Conectiva 9 (special edition that came with a magazine).

I run mount and it shows no floppy nor cdrom.

I put a floppy in the floppy drive and run mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 
/mnt/floppy. The floppy light goes on and if I run mount again it shows the 
floppy in the list.

I put a cdrom in the cdrom drive and run mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc 
/mnt/cdrom. The light goes on. Some msgs goes on screen and if I run mount 
again it shows the cdrom in the list.

My problem is that I can not see the contents of the disks (floppy and 
cdrom). I try the following:

ls -lo /dev/floppy - The light goes on again. and it shows the size of a 
blank floppy isntead of a written floppy.

The samething happen with cdrom.

I tryed to copy something from hd to floppy and could not do it. I used the 
following command:

cd /
cd /tmp
ls -lo (it shows me a file named Julio is there)
cp Julio /dev/fd0 - It gives the message: the file Julio is already there. 
Do you want to overwrite it?

How como Julio is already there if I never copied it before? Even if I 
format the floppy it shows me the same message.

Yes! Believe me. I managed to format the floppy. I used the command fdformat 
/dev/fd0H1440. I could even use the mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0.

Thanks again.
