Can any one tell me how to setup how swap on my Linux laptop?
'hot swap'
never used it, but, until someone else with experience replies;
change ftab to no dvd, 'mount -a', swap in floppy, change ftab to show floppy, 'mount -a'.
easier, have 3 files, ftab-d with dvd shown, ftab-f with flop show, ftab-n with neither.
to hot swap; 'cp -f ftab-n ftab;mount -a' to clear and allow removal. then 'cp -f ftab-d ftab;mount -a' for dvd, or 'cp -f ftab-f ftab;mount -a' for flop.
above 3 cli's could be 3 scripts and called by 3 single names.
read 'man ftab' and 'man mount' before attempting and at your own risk.
if it where my system, i would try it. might not work, then again...
peace out.
