Hello:
The subject says the question.
[In pre 12 suse versions I had a /media/floppy directory where the floppy could be mounted at (by using the floppy icon on KDE3's desktop). In 12.x there is no such directory, and if created it will be removed at next boot, as I know correctly. Of course I could make a floppy dir under / or somewhere else, but I'd prefer its location to be in /media, since floppy is a media. Why should it be then outside of media dir?]
What is the official way of mounting floppy in 12.x.? I have openSUSE 12.1 with KDE3 currently.
Thanks,
Istvan
Shucks, I was going to test this for you till I got to the KDE3 part. On 12.3, using KDE4, I just plug in the external floppy drive and thrash thru my junk drawer for an actual floppy, and insert it. The system pops up a notification telling me there is a new unit and offers me choices on what to do. I choose open with file manager (dolphin) and it pops up, showing the content of the floppy. It says the path is /media/disk Not sure how you do this with KDE3, as I only have one Virtual machine still running that version, and its not OpenSuse. Tail /var/log/messages while you insert the disk and see if it will cough up any clues. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
