Subject: automount floppies
Hi!
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
