Announcement 3: 1/10/02

there is an error in the lab notes, to format a floppy it should be:
mkfs -t msdos /dev/fd0
the notes refers to "floppy" instead of "fd0"
some extra pointers from the TA:
The mount command works fine: "mount /mnt/floppy"
You can then type "df" to see the file system it is on, which shows that the path /mnt/floppy is mounted on /dev/fd0
When you're done saving your files, be sure to change to a different directory and then do a "umount /mnt/floppy" before you remove the diskette.


Announcement 2: 1/9/02

The class size will not be increased. I can only add students to replace the drops. So far there have been very few drops (2 to be exact).
