Linux users, help..

[catocom]

I posted this at xi, but since it looks like traffic has dropped off
there I though I'd post it here as well.

From Mandrake 7 to 8, it seems KDE has gotten quite a bit
better. So I decided to take another stab at it.

About floppies...

I can format them, mount them, but I can't get it to un mount
them.
On the desktop icon, right click context menu there is always
a mount option, but no umount option.
I tried the command line "unmount /mnt/floppy" but it still
won't unmount. I have to restart just to format, once I've
browsed the floppy to see what's on it.

I log in as administrator. I think I've got the permissions set right.
I even tried logging in as root, but it does the same thing.

How can I unmount a damn floppy?

well I take it back about the root part.
It does work when logged in as root.
I just need to figure out how to set the permissions now.

Check the ownership of the bloack device under /dev/fd0 Set it to you.

Finally got it.

I'm really starting to like Linux better and better.
