Nice to see it's such an easy tool to work with. I'm just going to jump right in, lay the code, test it out, etc. Thanks for the information/warning.
All joking aside, I think I'll probably just wait until some future release of SuSE and hope that --
Huh? I thought you were serious, not joking - there is no joking smiley up there. And I did find easy to dissable floppy automount, once I discovered how to do it. That was 9.3, of course, I heard 10.0 changed a bit, but also heard there is a note in the sdb or the opensuse web page. Explain where you are stuck, and I'll try to help.
a) HAL turns off fd0 as a default auto-sumbmount
Don't dream. Automount is here to stay, because newbies from the windows world don't wan't to learn good habits :-p
b) the HAL folks create some simple parameter file that you can use to specify defaults/overrides for the automatic submounts (what a concept)
I would be happy if they created a config editor for their type of config syntax. Not only for the floppy, but for every thing there.
c) SuSE adds a panel for it under YaST (why not dream big?)
Yeap.
Meanwhile, I'll keep my fingers crossed that, in the mean time, this thing doesn't wear out my floppy drive trying to mount it when it's empty, which is every time I boot up (who wants the floppy read at boot?).
You might. If there is something there, you might want it mounted. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDvmF8tTMYHG2NR9URAtc/AJ0eYmQkX3BnLuruSls5WVVh98rfqgCfZVGP YrpfVobRqJi/ll+v4R6sWNU= =iWNU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
