Ordinarily, I use Mtools to manage diskettes (floppies): it's very fast & efficient to copy & delete files from the CLI.
I've long had Krusader installed & have recently tested Thunar & Dolphin & find that while they claim to handle diskettes, it's not reliable: sometimes they do copy or delete files successfully; sometimes they say they have, but nothing happens in the drive; sometimes they say they can't access the drive at all. I've added a line to /etc/fstab : '/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,user 0 0' & I've changed the permissions on /mnt/floppy to '777'. Yes, I do have HAL installed & it does start at boot time. I'm using KDE 3.5.6 with Kernel 2.6.20 & everything else works well. Xfce 4.4 , incl Thunar, is installed in /usr/local , using the official Xfce installer (I tested Thunar with KDE & Xfce). Have other people had such problems -- have they even tried -- , does anyone have useful comments, suggestions or explanations ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
