I presume you use only FAT12 formatted floppies (i.e. no ext2), as that is the only format mtools supports (last I looked). > I've long had Krusader installed & have recently tested Thunar & Dolphin > & find that while they claim to handle diskettes, it's not reliable: > sometimes they do copy or delete files successfully; > sometimes they say they have, but nothing happens in the drive; > sometimes they say they can't access the drive at all. > I've added a line to /etc/fstab : > '/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,user 0 0' Why use vfat for the filesystem? I would have thought msdos would make more sense if all your floppies are FAT12. However, I use auto for the filesystem (but noauto in the options) as I also use ext2 floppies. -- Regards Dave [RLU#314465] ====================================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] (David W Noon) ====================================================== -- [email protected] mailing list
