This is what I tried, and these are the reults:
when I try to delete a file on the floppy:
Access denied to /media/floppy/setup_p.ini
when I try to copy a file to the floppy, I get :
Writing to drives is not supported
First, have you tried mtools? From 9.0 I have had no problems mounting a floppy. The mount command, above should be issued as root. If you set up and entry in /etc/fstab, then you can mount and unmount as a regular user. Here is my fstab entry: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
Try: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,users,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 works for me
Brilliant! Adding users in fstab solves the problem. Thanks a lot. But this begs the question: why isn't this the default with a new 9.1 install? This is bound to create problems for users! FX
