On the LTSP server I don't use mtools for anything except the terminals, so I just added the following line to the global mtools config file /etc/mtools.conf. This way I don't have to worry about putting a .mtoolsrc file in each home dir. drive a: file="$DISPLAY" remote 1.44m mformat_only Also, when I was configuring floppyd I configured a local shell to launch on one of the vttys so that I could check that floppyd was actually running and that the floppy device file was existent and had the right permissions. What do you get with the following commands from a local shell on the terminal: # ps aux | grep floppyd (is it launced pointing to the right device?) # ls -l /dev/floppy/ (is the device which floppyd points to there?) Watch closely as the machine boot. Just before X is configured and launched you should see some info fly by about loading floppy support and launching floppyd.
