Unfortunately I don't have a way of posting that I'm aware of just yet. My laptop has a USB external floppy and Linux doesn't like it at all. Apparently thinks it's a hard disk and assumes its size to be 1GB, and all sorts of weird things.
I'll try with my USB Flash disk, since that should work, and see if I have any joy there. My laptop at the moment is giving five loud beeps then shutting down - I never get to see anything on the screen - leading me to believe something's seriously wrong at the moment. :-( I'll have to check the IBM website first and see what's up, then post back, assuming my laptop isn't completely FUBAR. --James On Fri, 2004-06-04 at 18:34, Stephen J.
