In a previous post I describe my problems with respect to recognizing a fat32 partition
and a zip drive when booting using myconfig=scan.
If you have a floppy and a usb zip drive I would be grateful if you tried replicating
the problem so we can see if it is a bug, a feature, or a config setting and how common
it is.
To replicate the problem save a configuration to a linux formatted floppy, boot specifying the
floppy--floppyconfig if I recall correctly but do check if you don't know -- with
the zip drive plugged in, and see if the zip drive icon is on the desktop
or otherwise accessible. I can't write to or read from the zip drive if I boot using
myconfig=scan. It (and one of my Windows partitions that I created using QTPart)
don't even show up on the desktop. See my previous post for the gory details.
It would be progress to know if this is a feature of Knoppix or if there is a bug
with respect to my hardware or my configuration.
Thanks in advance for any help.
