These mailing lists are great...everyone is so helpful. Best mailing list I've ever seen. Maybe y'all can help me too.
I have a 3.5 floppy icon on the desktop which has a tiny green arrow at the bottom right corner... this means that the floppy is mounted. But this shows up as soon as I boot the computer, so the floppy is mounted from the time of boot. I can read and write to floppies and Konqueror will show the correct floppy contents when I change floppies, however, when I right-click and choose 'unmount', before ejecting the floppy, I get an error saying: umount: only root can unmount none from /mnt/floppy Please check that the disk is entered correctly. Still new to Linux and was told to never eject a floppy until it is unmounted. So, I have been leaving the darn thing mounted all the time, but ejecting the floppies anyway. Is it safe to just leave it alone and eject floppies whether it is unmounted or not? Or, is there some way I can fix this? My Mandrake 10.0 Community install does have some problems in its current state, and I have been hearing that other people have the same problems and will, hopefully, be fixed when the 'Official' release is out. However, as it is, Mandrake 10.0 beats anything else I have tried, including other distros, and I ain't going back to Windoze Ian MacGregor -- ----------------------------- Registered Linux User #350412 MacGregor Despite Them!
