Rodney is still having a problem:
I think I did what was suggested with no rewarding results.  Here is a copy of my latest attempts:
george@george-desktop:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0

# /dev/sda6

/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

george@george-desktop:~$ mount media/floppy0
mount: can't find media/floppy0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
george@george-desktop:~$ mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
mount: only root can do that
george@george-desktop:~$ sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[sudo] password for george: 
mount: mount point /media/floppy does not exist
george@george-desktop:~$ 

Why do I get the error that the mount point does not exist?  Thanks for
any suggestions.  Rodney
