Can anyone offer some advice... I have installed LM8.0 on my Sony Vaio laptop. It is one of those where the parallel port may be used either for a printer, or for an external floppy drive.
The install went perfectly, and it all works including the floppy drive. Only problem is that if I do not have the floppy drive plugged into the parallel port, then shutting down takes an age. Is there a way to easily let Linux know whether or not the floppy is fitted? I guess I could do it in the bios, but I would rather not have to fiddle with Bios every time I want to use a floppy. TIA Derek
