on the topic of hot swappable drives and whatnot I have a dell latitude, I have a number of drives that i would like to use on it.

Zip 250
CD-ROM
Floppy

Allready loaded it to the HD, that worked great. Can't praise enough the:

knx-hdinstall

command. That was so simple. And once I figured out that the swap file was number 82 it made life even easier. The only problem is when I'm on the desktop of knoppix I can't seem to hotswap the drives to access the floppy or the zip or the cd-rom. I have to reboot everytime to access the floppy or cd-rom, I have never gotten the zip to work on knoppix 3.2 yet.

Ideas on how to accomplish this would be great.
