Really?! I haven't heard anything about this. I didn't find anything
about floppyd on the News page. I also didn't find anything on the
Contrib page. The only thing I found was an RPM and a tarball on the
Downloads page on Sourceforge, which did not contain any documentation
and the note for the "Floppy Access" section only mentions the NBD
package. I looked into the ltsp_floppyd-3.0 tarball and it contains a
floppyd binary with an rc file and an install script that conforms to
the LTSP 3.0 root directory (/opt/ltsp/i386/...).
Have the problems with floppyd been resolved? Last time I tried it,
some people could use it flawlessly, but others could not use it at all.
Also, as far as I can tell, there's nothing about this version of
floppyd that *requires* LTSP 3.0. The rc file and the install file
reference the 3.0 filesystem conventions and the newer device location
(/dev/floppy/0), but this can all be manually changed much easier than
forcing him to upgrade a live installation to 3.0!
