Hi all,

One of the Pc's here, (the old ladies) doesn't have a floppy drive (its a
network PC, Compaq 4000N)

So I thought, no problem, I'd setup a network drive linked to the linux
box's floppy (using Samba).. so she can just stick a floppy in that and save
away.

Anyway, then I realised that with supermount not working, I'd need to teach
her how to mount and umount the floppy..
which is more pain then its worth... So I am trying to think of a way around
that..

Is there anyway I can get supermount or similiar working? even if its just
on the floppy????

then I can setup the floppy as a share in samba, and she can map it as a
network drive, and just stick in a floppy and save..


any suggestions anyone?


linux box details:
mandrake 8.1 Powerpack.
kernel 2.4.13-9mdk
samba-2.2.1a-15mdk

PS, has Samba gotten anywhere with Active Directory yet?
