Any ideas on how to get the floppy drive to work in KDE? The only
utility i can find is KFloppy, and that is for erasing disks. When i try
erasing a disk already in the drive, i get an error that there is no
such device.
In Gnome, on the other hand, i was able to get the floppy and CD icons
put on the toolbar, but when i try loading a floppy i get a warning of
the like " error >2>1 msdos not compiled in the kernel" for my dos
formatted floppy. Nor can i format it.
I would like to get a floppy to work because I don't have internet
access on my home box, the one with YDL, so I downloaded Mac-On-Linux &
some other utilities at school and am trying to get it into my home box.
Any ideas?
As far as Zips go I found some stuff on the Linus faq-o-matic that I'll
try first, but I'm not gonna hold my breath.
