In one case things work but work slowly. In the other they don't work. I think the first option is better. I think, most of the time the issue is that the bios isn't configured to say that there are no floppy drives attached and the floppy controller should be disabled. Though there were claims that in some cases doing that didn't help. Hopefully both things can be fixed at the same time. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
