I feared for the worst and was actually afraid to even try my floppy in 10.3. My fears did not go unwarranted. Same problem. Over 2 minutes to xfer a 102KB file (with stalling most of the way). Gentlemen; a floppy (although on the decline) is and always has been a part of basic PC functionality. Up until just recently EVERY machine came with one. There are certain basic functionalities that we have come to expect and also require; video, keyboard, mouse, floppy and the ability to print. Doing without these bare minimums (that have been in existence since the dawn of the PC) in this day and age with relation to PC life would seem almost archaic. openSUSE in my opinion is the finest distro available (I have been "here" since 9.1) but when we get overly concerned with being Number 1 and donate all of our resources and efforts to "feature rich" versus basic functionality we have lost sight of just what all of this is about. I implore you to rethink your priorities in the scheme of things. All the "whistles and bells" do not do any of us a whole lot of good if we do not have the basics. As of 10.3 I am still without a "useable" floppy. Please excuse me if I sound harsh but this is totally unacceptable by todays standards in any PC OS. -- 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.
