Scott, Don't know about your cron job, but looks lik'll need to rebuild your /dev/fd0 device file. I believe there is a MAKEDEV script you can use. Also, you can mount the floppy as -t vfat which will allow you to look at long filenames. 73, Chris w1gm@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
