It is very irritating, since I only use floppies when I really need to, and usually I've upgraded the system (I typically do clean installs) since the last time. I always have to stop and manually configure the floppy drive again. For a while, USB floppy drives got correctly configured when you plugged them in (a udev rule was added to get /dev/floppy links and ownership), but that was removed somewhere along the line. I own the package for formatting floppies in USB drives (ufiformat), and it is also irritating when I go test it for new releases. With changes over time, I don't know how to get the device nodes with the correct access for the desktop user anymore, and I figure if somebody went to the trouble of removing the udev rules, there's not much point in asking to have them added back. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
