I put the line ALL: ALL in /etc/hosts.deny and tried to mount a directory on this machine from another one, just to see if it actually denies access to all other hosts. /etc/hosts.allow is empty. But I could still mount and access files. What's wrong here?

I don't think so as Staroffice is not a free or open source software and Sun does not give the sources Star Office is GPL. I just don't think there will be a package maintainer for such a monster package. Just today I learned they have 180 people working on it. That's why it's so big and slow

It was not easy to find out that autofs works out of the box for floppy and cd. It's behavior is not intuitive at all. I also made symlinks from /floppy to /var/autofs/misc/floppy and the same for /cd. But this causes the cdrom drive to rattle everytime I go to / in Konqueror, and ls / hangs.

I think you need to chage the permissions of the /floppy directory... chmod g+w /floppy.if that doesn't work try chmod a+w /floppy The chmod did the trick. How could I forget the permissions? I was confused because I could write to msdos floppies without having write access

how to format a floppy in ext2

I find the truncation of long filenames on MSDOS floppies really annoying. But I haven't found a way to format a floppy in ext2. Fdformat is obsolete, and superformat seems to be unable to format ext2. Is there something that can do it?
