markwolfe Veteran Posted September 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 20, 2004 Are you trying through the commandline? If so, what command are you using to mount? Does gnoppix come with mtools? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 uhm, i just doubleclick the floppy icon. says unable to mount it due the kernel version doesnt support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted September 20, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 20, 2004 Hmmmm.... Try opening a shell and typing mdir in there, and see if it pulls up a listing of files on the floppy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanekiwi Posted September 20, 2004 Author Share Posted September 20, 2004 (edited) will do sir. dammit. gnoppix doesnt like my usb mouse anymore. knoppix doesnt like my ati radeon 9000 pro either, means 640x480 is the highest resolution. i guess i'll try another distro then.

I can tell you that Knoppix likes my Radeon 9000 Pro. I do have it installed though. I have only used the LiveCD as a method of installaiton.
