please post your configuration. i cannot get my ls120 working with mdk 7.0 iso-2. ls mod does not show the "ide-floppy" loaded either. keep getting an "input/output error". do i need to rebuild kernel to make it operational?

Yes put it into the "options" in linuxconf, just remeber also that you need to set "partition" and "mount point" to the mount point, and you'll have to manualy type "supermount" as the type because linuxconf doesn't know about supermount.

[Cooker] supermount problems
Is there a way to umount a drive that has been "supermounted?" I have found that the Corel Linux installation does manage to give me a working XF86Config file, while with Oxygen, I have been unable to do so. I prefer Mandrake, so I copied the XF86Config file to an MSDOS formatted floppy so that I could copy this onto my Oxygen installation, but, as it is currently mounted, it doesn't recognize the formatting. And, I can't umount it to remount it with the needed format. I'd just as soon go back to the old way and at least be able to access the info on the disk. Any help?
