Would appreciate if anyone can help with this two questions.
1) How to turn Numlock on automatically upon Linux startup and in
X-Window environment.
2) How to use DOSEMU to copy files from Linux to a DOS formatted
floppy disk.
Thank you very much.
Regards
Damon
P.S. remove DONT_MASS_WITH_ME to correspond.

Why would you want to use DOSEMU for that?Quote:> 2) How to use DOSEMU to copy files from Linux to a DOS formatted

It complains about permissions, but you can just ignore that, dos just
can't handle partitions.

mount: /dev/fd0 is not a block device (maybe try '-o
loop'?)
when i tried with the option -o loop, i got an even longer error message
mount: wrong fs type, ..............

I got the NumLock automatically set on booting up my Linux. A slight misunderstanding about X
numlocking.
I noticed that the commands you give below permanently map the keyboard in X window. I was
just looking for a way to default the NumLock as on upon X window startup. That way, i could
then release the numlock anytime later by just pressing the NumLock button again. (suppose i
want to use the num pad for navigation instead)
Anyway, it very helpful of you, thank you.
Regards
Damon
P.S.- remove DONT_MASS_WITH_ME to correspond.

My BIOS numlock is set as on.

But i don't know why mcopy didn't work. When i go to /mnt/floppy and do a
ls, i can see the file but it's just not on the floppy diskette.

I didn't mount the floppy. When i used mcopy, there was no error messages, but
the LED lights for drive A did not blink as when you copy a file to a floppy
either.
I got a dos partition on one of my three harddisk that has a mount point in
Linux, so i suppose i got fat support in my kernel. Funny thing is that i can
see the file in /mnt/floppy when i do a ls after mcopy even though it is not
physically copied to the floppy!

Hi all...
Sorry about this, but I've hunted all I can hunt, and read

as a wheel or as a third button).
Can someone please(!!) help me...
I'm a sorta newbie/sorta oldbie(?!) - I've used Linux for a while, but
only basically.
TIA
