Hi:
I'm new in antiX. Yesterday I've installed antiX-M8.5-686 in an old computer and it worked perfectly, I liked it very much. But I can't mount the floppy disk. I have been searching in this forum about this. I found a post viewtopic.php?f=4&t=64&hilit=how%20to%20mount%20floppy where anticapitalista explains how to solve this problem. I tried several times because apparently there is an issue with a blank line when editing /etc/stab. I added the extra blank line in many places, before and after the dynamic comment. But after rebooting opening rox as root and clicking in /media/floppy I'm getting the following message in all the cases:

mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
Mount failed

Done
There was one error

Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?. Thanks.

Hmm, I have no floppy here but do you have /dev/fd0 (go to /dev with the file manager and see)?
If there's no fd0 then you may need to check if the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS.
