There have been 2 separate/distinct patches for this on the mailing list in the past. One is from Eric Lammerts (subj: Using USB floppy drive for root floppy) on Dec. 23, 2001 (on the linux-kernel mailing list). I know that there's another patch that provides similar functionality, but I can't find it just now. -- ~Randy _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, use the last form field at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-usb-devel
