Hi Everybody!
I can see two ways to mount the floppy in the GUI, but when I click on
either of them the floppy doesn't mount. This is true regardless of user
or root.
This didn't come up at the meeting because I didn't have the floppy with
me. And I almost had identified every issue!
The one thing I found on the web:
"If it's a USB floppy then the kernel will assign it a USB device node,
most likely /dev/sda, not /dev/fd0. During initial bootup (ie prior to
the linux kernel loading) they are usually recognized as standard floppy
drives, ie /dev/fd0, but this is something the BIOS provides so that
they may be used as an initial boot device, a trick if you will. In
order for it to work under Linux, the kernel will need USB support and
USB Mass Storage support."

When the box is booting it tries to find the floppy and says it can't.
The floppy is there, though, and even has a disk full of files in it.
There is a link about this and simply mepis but it seems to be dead. I
tried the same search on the mepis site itself and got all kinds of
posts about other stuff. Anyone know how to do it?
Regards,
Pete
