Category: Release/Branch: Bering Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Mike Noyes (mhnoyes) Summary: Huh? no fd0u1680 Initial Comment: I am using mandrake 8.2. There are no entries in /dev for floppies greater than 1440. Directions for LRP distros say I need /dev/fd0u1680, but this doesn't work. What should I do? I've been to the FAQ. ALSO, is there a FORUM anywhere that I can post questions and see other's questions and answers, or is there just the mailing list? Thanks much for any help.

Try this as root: cd /dev ; ./MAKEDEV -v fd0 If that doesn't do it, try: cd /dev ; mknod /dev/fd0u1680 b 2 44 There is no forum, just the mailing list. I can't speak for everyone hear, but it's *much* easier for me to field questions via email (especially across multiple subject groups) than to struggle with web-based forums. (Sorry, venting a bit there.) There are at least three archives of the mailing list traffic. The mail-archive interface provides the best search support. It's at: http://www.mail-archive.com/leaf-user%40lists.sourceforge.net/ There's also a geocrawler archive and sourceforge archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/7325/0/ http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=12&page_id=5 (The direct SF link doesn't seem to be working right now.) Questions submitted to the mailing list directly seem to get more replies. If you have further questions and want the widest audience, mail to leaf-user (after reading the support request FAQ at http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html ) might be the best avenue. --Brad ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=213751&aid=605926&group_id=13751 ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
