Hi everybody I've got a mini form factor Pentium 4 I just acquired. I have a huge amount of floppy disks to make backup images of as well as write to new floppies. Yeah I know, floppies suck, but i thought i could use Gentoo on it to make the process less painful. This is a plain internal floppy drive so not a USB one. Do you need build any packages with floppy support or just make sure it's in the kernel? When i was doing some googling to see if i would have issues trying to do floppy stuff with the latest kernels, it seemed like that could be a potential issue.
I will do my main compiling on my main PC then send it to the P4 to keep it from burning itself up. haha.
