Section 13.2.2 A in "Getting Started Guide" (p. 262) says: "Put the floppy in the drive and, as root, type: ^^^^^ mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy To copy files, use ... " True, to use _this_ command one has to be root and we really do not want newbies to get into a habit of using root account. 'mount /mnt/floppy' would be vastly preferable. And how about this instead "Put a floppy with a Windows file system into a drive and click on a floppy icon to open a directory window in a file manager. Copy files in and out as usual with a file manager you are using. Click on 'Eject' action on a menu for your floppy icon". Look Ma, no root!
