: [newbie] Floppy CD work fine, then not
A little trick I learned, from a command line:
supermount -i disable
Reboot
Locks should be gone.
Apparently(somebody could clear this up for me)there is a bug in
supermount?

Open a console and type mount /mnt/floppy w/o the quotes.
Before removing
if your floppy is supermounted ( works in a fashion simillar to windows, most
mandrake installs set this up so it probably is) then u just navigate to
/mnt/floppy and the contents of that folder are your floppy

Hello again,
I went in as single user and deleted about 250 Mb of files, and it booted
up fine. When I got in, I ran a df command and it said I had 660Mb left on
/ and about the same on /home. Now, when I rebooted yesterday, I get the
exact same error messages as before and I have not

Seththat's a normal mount point for 'supermount'ed
devices.
When I'm logged on as myself I can read from the floppy dirve but can't

set so I can write to a floppy.
Many Thanks,

Hello,
My floppy/zip drives are having IO errors in Mandrake 7.2. I hacked the /etc/fstab file and tried setuid and set it so that all users can use it... but to no avail. The messages I get are when in root "input/output error". And in a regular user "Permission Denied". I thought maybe its a
Icon on desktop as per default on installation, but access not
permitted. Right click to Properties and ticking (already seemed
correct) doesn't fix.
How goes it for you? I've not had time to try yet.

Will tell you step-by-step on a CDRW, including fixing the bad link made by
kudzu.
Thanks!
I'll try it next time it happens...

Hi,
Have had a problem with my the floppy on my drive.
Sometimes it won't read new discs that I insert. It doesn't even click and
the light goes on.
Is there a way to "refresh"?
Supermount is in control of it normally but I tried the mount command just
in case. Unfortunately the response was
