Hi Everybody,
I have Ubuntu 9.04. I find it much more cantankerous than MEPIS. In
MEPIS I could copy/paste drag/drop from folders to floppy and vice versa.
With Ubuntu I can't use the built-in floppy at all. I can read and copy
from a USB floppy to the hard disk but not the other way. When there is
a blank disk in the USB floppy I cannot paste the files I just copied
from the other floppy onto the blank one.
It must be mounted, it lets me unmount it, but "paste" is grayed out. I
suppose there are script commands to do this, but that is not what I
want. I am using all this overhead to run a GUI, I want to use the GUI.
Is there a way to use the GUI to write to a blank floppy, without trying
to use all these damned commands that I am too old to remember even if I
once knew them?
