[newbie] KDE3! Floppy save locks the PC completely!!!
Hi people I remember sometime ago when someone did post that if we should avoid locking up the whole PC while trying to save data to floppy via drag n' drop we should be changing the default fstype to auto from vfat to /etc/fstab that comes with setup. I actually did that. No nothing. PC freezes completely. Only solution to rebood it using the reset button. I can only save data to floppy via command-line. Any ideas will be as always much appreciated Cheers Dimitris -- ### Registered Linux User 271321 This message was sent from a Microsoft_Free PC.

I too did what others suggested and changed fs=vfat to auto in /etc/fstaband like you, it made no difference whatsoever...still locks up hard. I'd also like to see a solution to this problem.

This is a problem with konqueror. I never use it so what I offer is in the nature of a work around rather than a solution. Try emelfm. It is a twin pane file file mgr that make coping, moving, and a multitude of other task even simpler than drag n' drop. If you want to give it a try it can be dled from the 8.2 Contrib dirc of any mandrake mirror. (It is not included on the CDs) Charles Char Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
