Is there any possibility of making Linux handle file systems on
floppies like MSDOS, so that there is no need to explicitly mount and
unmount a floppy drive in order to access floppies through the file
system?
Because of the inconvenience of mounting and unmounting floppies, I
never do that; I only use mcopy. mcopy is covenient enough, for
people who don't mind learning another few commands. But that isn't
very easy for non-hackers, the kind of people who now prefer Windows.
A complaint from a non-hacker about this is what inspired me to write
this message.
We want to make GNU/Linux appeal to Windows users, and this is one of
the things necessary to do that. And if MSDOS could do this, surely
we can.
