Hello, list--
Somebody must have the same problem and has solved it. I CANNOT WRITE TO MY FLOPPY DISK AND I NEED TO.
I have already added "users" in fstab. It made no difference whatever. This is SuSE 9.1 with this funny mounting scheme.
Could some kind soul tell me how to make the floppy write-accessible for user, for root, for anybody in the whole wide world, I don't care, so I can copy information to a machine that i don't know how to make the network work for. (It's Win 98, se)
Words of one syllable, please. I am obviously incapable of any more.
If anyone can add how to set the Win machine so I can access it and r/w to it, please help. I have a Linksys router and can see the Win machine, but only its name and a subdirectory with my name on it. I never before had 2 machines running, and I have no idea how networks are set up. I suspect that SuSE has her end set up, and the problem is at the Win end.
(Just send to me, no need to put Win instruction on the list, unless you want to. )
Thanx. I know I ask a lot more than I contribute, but by and large this is a pretty darned good bunch of people here.
PS: Does anyone on eastern Long Island, NY, USA, know of Linux classes anywhere not too far away? I'm in Rocky Point.

Floppies in any guise are shureley well past there sell by date now so many machines are now being produced minus floppy the death knell is upon them memory sticks are so much better
Maybe, but there are many tens of thousands of serviceable older laptops and other devices that have no better method of transferring small files. This will continue to be the case for some time.
just as an aside i have no problem writing to a floppy when i install one have not used one for so long it's untrue running 9.1 with subfs intackt as of out of the box.
Lucky you.
