Hi all,

I have a floppy disk formatted under windows which I want to mount at
/mnt/floppy so as to transfer a document (staroffice) from my linux box to
a windows machine.

However, when I run the command:

	mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

it says that the kernel does not have support for msdos filesystems.  I am
running a stock redhat 6.2 kernel... any ideas on what the correct file
system would be?  I have tried fat16, fat32, but no success thus far.

thanks heaps

David.
