I am a Linux & ThinkPad newbie - I have successfully installed Debian =
2.2 on a model 365CS (I think) ThinkPad. Now, the only way I can get =
Debian packages onto this machine (until I get a PCMCIA Network card =
that can be configured for it) is by floppy.
No big deal, I thought - but even though I can mount a WinDOS floppy, =
and even "ls" is and see the files, every time I try to copy anything, =
it fails.
Is there a known problem with the ThinkPad floppy? I can't figure out =
why this would be happening when it installed off the same drive!
Thanks,
Jay
