https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=211857#c13 --- Comment #13 from Mike Wells <mike_wells@cox.net> 2007-11-23 16:26:39 MST --- With regard to comment #11; I executed 3 tests for a recursive copy (4 folders, 22 tiny files, 102KB total). The tests were KDE/Konqueror, KDE/Konsole and Linux Native (dropping down into Console Login as root). The results were identical for all 3 tests - well over 2 minutes for a total data xfer of 102KB! So, it puzzles Mario, as to how you were able to come up with normal xfer speed under GNOME. At any rate this entire floppy issue (and the numerous bugs associated with it) is just flat out unacceptable even by legacy standards! I use the word "legacy" because that now seems to be the new "fad" term with respect to 3.5"/1.44MB internal drives being used by the SUSE people. I have been "doing" PC's since 1982 and I am here to tell you that this one takes the cake in all of the cake walks that I have ever seen. The 3.5" internal is not yet "legacy". If that is a SUSE "workaround" for not seeing this thru then it will be just one more example of their new attitude which seems to be "Live with it"! BTW, I just happen to own a fairly expensive Sony digital cam and in addition to mem sticks it can take a 3.5" floppy for removable storage. How 'bout that? And guess what Gents? My Sony cam is NOT legacy! Whatever happened to stability, reliablity, usability and basic functionality with this distro? Oh, I just remembered, all of that went out the window in favor of cramming some barely usable KDE 4 previews on the 10.3 DVD iso. But hey, who needs a working floppy, the ability to print (I can't in 10.3), or the best one of all; can not boot to "Repair installed system" from the installation media when we can have borked KDE 4 previews. Enough said. I'm going shopping again! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
