Package: kfloppy Version: 4:3.2.2-2 Severity: normal When I try to use kfloppy it complains "Cannot access /dev/fd0h1440". That's because the file is /dev/fd0u1440. According to http://alain.knaff.linux.lu/fdutils/FAQ.html#floppy-names the use of "u" is the new recommended convention for 3.5 drives.
I am using devfs. As a separate, but related, matter, there appears to be know way to configure the name of the device the tool tries to access. That seems unfortunate. I worked around this with command line tools. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26advncd Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 Versions of packages kfloppy depends on: ii dosfstools 2.10-1 Utilities to create and check MS-D ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.3-2 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-6 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.4-3 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-6 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-4 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.4-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1.1-5 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information
