** Description changed: Binary package hint: xubuntu-docs When trying to copy to floppy, it says Abi file is write protected. When I drag the abi file onto the floppy icon, it says "permission denied. I tried to change permissions, but it would not allow me to change. This should be a simple process, but getting very frustrating. I saved the Abi file to the desktop and then tried to save it to the user folder, and it said folder was "write protected". NOTE: I saved the file as a microsoft DOC file, to be opened in XP later on. Update July 13: I am Recycling and refurbishing older computers and donating to those in need. I use xubuntu on slower computers such as athlon and celeron CPU's. On over a dozen of these computers, I cannot save an Abi word file to a floppy disk. What more information do you possibly need?
