yes, I'll do it when the eeePC is back home - it is now gone for several days out of town with my son.
however, some additional points - due to the nature of the floppy device (usb interface) the floppy diskette when inserted is mapped to /dev/sde in my case (see attached file) and the gnome floppy format command comes down with 'unable to initialize device' error; - so far I had no success getting the floppy formatted with mke2fs command either - as said in prev posts the fd0 device in /dev apparently is not there or not functioning correctly with usb floppy devices. - the gnome floppy formatter works flawlessly on intrepid desktop installations. - on the eeePC as soon as a formatted (ext2 or fat16) diskette is inserted in the drive, it is immediately recognized and mounted to /media/<diskette label> and files can be written to it. - additionally, I think that https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy must be revised to reflect/add situations where usb attached floppy drives are used. I created a successful intrepid recovery, bootable floppy, for the eeePC - VERY SMALL AND ELEGANT - (obviously formatted on a intrepid desktop install); the grub section howto of url above is completely unworkable for usb attached floppy drives. regards, peter -- gparted does not open/run. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327341 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
