"More and more Linux users are dropping microsoft alltogether and using Linux as a stand-alone OS and needing basic functions to read and write files on media such as 'floppy'. For some time Linux has been going from a secondary OS to a solitary OS in its usage. floppy is an important function to have, especially with text files and data. (posted by John)."
We have the same situation here in that we use quality cameras that have the floppy disk drive built in... they are used for quick one-picture shots and using a floppy disk is ideal. The cameras are too expensive an investment to dump them to use Ubuntu, so, this fix is vital for us too. We agree too, there are millions still using floppy disks for a host of reasons. It has nothing to do with using the latest equipment, we still install floppy drives for our specific requirements. They are ideal for short text files and numerous convenient temporary portable archives of information. -- [Karmic] floppy is not working (Ubuntu 9.10) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441835 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
