Subject: Difficulty mounting floppy
Hello All:

Over the weekend I reinstalled RH 6.1 on the Linux only box. Before I
go on line with it though I wanted to install Bastille Linux. I
downloaded a copy of it from the Windows box and then tried to mnt the
floppy with,
    
    mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy


but I get this back,

    mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock...


I know the drive works and I have tried two different floppies. I
also tried formatting the floppy with Win and Linux and still get the
same error.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Mike
