Re: usb floppy
Thanks for the advice on the usb floppy. Now that
it's working, let me ask, it is necessary to unmount
and mount each time I insert a new floppy disk, or
is there some way to simplify the process? In the
past I would use mtools, but with the usb setup
that gives the following:
~$ mdir /floppy
Can't open /dev/fd0: Permission denied
Cannot initialize 'A:'
I'm using Hotplug now which seems to work well.
usbmgr worked but leaves some modules still to be
loaded.
/dev/sda /floppy vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0
