- Thanks to the several emails I received for showing me the way.
-
- Points:
-
- 1) SLS is designed to be installed to a HD rather than used as a floppy
- set-up. I didn't realize that. However, it is the distribution I *will*
- be using when my HD controller comes in on the next delivery.
-
- 2) Floppies must be formatted by DOS first, before Linux will acknowledge
- them.
-
- 3) The correct format for mounting a new floppy device is:
- # mkdir <pathname>
- # mount </dev/whatever> <pathname>
-
- Thank you to the constructive suggestions. Now to get the 0.99.1
- distribution so that I can get rid of that annoying keyboard lockup prob.
