I'm not quite sure what you mean. In my setup I have a line in /etc/fstab which says something like /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
This enables any user to mount and umount /floppy In KDE or Gnome the user has merely to click on the icon to access the disk.
I'll try to describe my needs more clearly: I'm looking for a way to use floppies without having to mount/umount them. GUIs don't really do anything else, they just save you some typing The thing is, handling floppies under linux is hard for unexperienced users. Inconsistencies or data losses are almost ineviteable at first use. there are packages/programs/patches that make using floppies easier such as the mtools(which don't do exactly what I need) or supermount, which is exactly what I need but which I haven't got to run nicely on my system (2.2.16) unfortunately. So, again: I'll be glad to hear about your experiences with any tools as described above or any related hints whatsoever! Thanx Flo
