So I tried editing /etc/fstab
it now says:
/dev/fd0 /media/fd0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
I have created /media/fd0/ directory, and made links to it : /media/floppy/
and /media/floppy0/ (it was the other way around before).
But when I click floppy drive in media:/ , the floppy still does get mounted,
but media:/fd0 displays nothing! I can still go and see the
contents /media/fd0/
What is the problem there? Could someone please tell me where the settings for
the media:/ are edited?
