    mount /dev/fdd (if you have a default installation of most Linux dervs)

    You can find an entire list of commands in the documentation and in the man pages.

    you can also get some help with 'help' and 'help man <page>' (all without the quotes)

    Look on the linux sites for more exacting assistance. Linux is a user supported OS and I have found that community to be willing and able to help noobs

    The command to mount is:

    # mount /dev/device /mnt/floppy

    where device is the device that you want to mount and /mnt/floppy is the location in the filesystem where you want to mount it.

    To unmount, just use umount /dev/device
