I am having trouble sharing my floppy drive under 2.5. I have set the
appropriate line in /etc/rmmount.conf. I get a message from share_nfs
saying: Operation not applicable. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Ed:

You're probably seeing the "Operation not applicable" message because
you're putting in a PCFS (DOS/Windoze95) floppy. These can't be
shared using normal NFS. (I *think* they can be shared via PC/NFS,
but that may be totally wrong, so don't quote me.)

You can ignore this message (unless you want to share PCFS! (;^|)

I've been told that Linux does allow you to share pcfs... or whichever
is their equivalent filesystem. I guess you'd need another Linux box to
mount it, though?
