Hi Cookers.
This may be a newbie-type question, but I've had several friends experience
it also, and it actually caused three of them to uninstall MDK 7.2 and use
Debian, of all things. Of course I take in stride cause Linux is Linux.
Anyway, here's the issue.
My supermount seems to be malfunctioning. I used KDE's create new floppy
device option, as well as create new cdrom device. I seem to have no problem
with accessing cdroms, but whenever I put a floppy in and attempt access it
either via the icon or by using konsole and just ls /mnt/floppy I am unable
to use the floppy. The drive lights up and stays lit. In konsole I get an
i/o error. In KDE I get a message that I do not have the rights to access
this location. Now, I of course used the permissions checks in kde to give
the owner and group full read/write perms. No change. I also went into fstab
and tried fs=auto and fs=autofs with no change. It previously had fs=vfat. I
tried fs=msdos, and said screw it and left it out, with no change in errors.
Yes, I've tried different disks, and the drive is fine in dos/windows. I AM
using a dos-formatted disk and it has approx. 400k of html on there. I tried
linux disks also, with no change. I think perhaps the supermount util is
bobo'ed on my computer.
If anyone has any recommendations, lemme know. Even send me the obvious ones
("oh I bet he's tried this..) Send it.
Failing this, can anyone give me a simple way of disabling supermount. I
dont mind mounting the drive myself. At this point I would prefer it.

Ravenhall
