Comment: I've just finished testing the floppy drive on several of systems; the original computer is Ubuntu Breezy on a P4-generation Celeron. Here are the results: Ubuntu Breezy on P4/Celeron: takes a long time to mount (mounts and opens automatically). HAL and pmount are installed. Killing hald and using "pmount /dev/sda" takes a long time to mount, but eventually mounts it on /media/sda. Keeping hald "dead" and using "mount /dev/sda /mnt/test" mounts it in under 10 seconds. Gentoo 2.6.15 on AMD64: mounts in under 10 seconds using the command, "mount /dev/sda /mnt/floppy2". HAL and pmount are not installed on this system. Mepis 2.6.15 on Pentium 3: takes a really long time to mount (by clicking on the floppy icon that appears on the desktop). HAL and pmount are installed. Killing hald and then using "pmount /dev/sda" causes it to take a long time to mount (but it eventually shows up on /media/sda). Keeping hald "dead" and doing "mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda" mounts it in under 15 seconds. Gnoppix Live 2.6.10 on Pentium 3: Mounts in under 15 seconds (mounts and opens automatically). HAL and pmount are installed. I hope some of this is helpful. What do you make of it? -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
