My simple comment that it is difficult to make use of extra hard
drives with apt has generated a lot more response than I would
have expected, from suggestions about how to work around the
difficulty to defenses of apt and the reasons why it is the way it
is.
My thanks to all who gave advice.
Now I do have a question that I hope you can help with. The last
time I tried (some versions ago), I was able to mount and edit
a boot floppy. No longer seems to be true. It wants me to
specify the fs system type. I can't find any types in man mount
that work. Suggestions?
