For quite some time now I have been trying to make it possible for the users of my suse linux 7.0 (Kernel 2.2.16) systems to use floppy disks under linux as they do under win/dos. I have tried the fdutils package which I am not too overwhelmed by. Autofs is not really what I need, as it has certain drawbacks (mount point not visible before mounting, umounting a floppy not possible if it is still busy, inconsistencies when changing floppies, etc.) I have found some info on supermount (a kernel patch) which seems to do exactly what I want, but I haven't found any patches for kernel 2.2.16 yet. And there may be some other methods I havent heard of yet. Maybe there's some special suse-package that does what I want? Any hints are appreciated! Thanx Florian Kleedorfer
