Subject: Re: why unmount???
You have to unmount the floppy before you put in a new one becuase unix
doesn't write any information to the floppy until it is unmounted. It's
a bit of a pain in the ass but you can write a script or something to
take
care of the mounting and unmounting for you. Besides, how often do you
really use the floppies with a unix box?
