No, the installation system did. Not the installed system. The kernel and image took an awful time to load, and once it was running, it insisted on checking the floppy perhaps a hundred times at every step (well, not really a hundred times). Yes, I do have a real floppy drive in this machine...
Include installation option
BrokenModules=floppy
to prevent that annoyance.
But you see, I do have a floppy, I want the system to be aware of it. I alse heard the DVD drive being probed as many times. The probing was fast, move the head a bit and spin the motor; but it was done too many times.
this is understood, but you were concerned about the time involved and remarked that the install trying to access or setup the floppy was consuming a great amount of time. also, the install was only a test for an availble or not feature. all besides the fact that you could install the floppy drive after all was said and done, even if more was said than done. you have voiced much concern about features being lost, but seem much determined to present impediments to finding ways to ascertain the features are lost. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
