Config Notes

Desktop Effects: Graphics driver/adapter does not support desktop effects.
Install: PXE Boot, OS Installed via Network.
Floppy disks used on this system must be manually mounted. To do this, perform the following steps first: a) run "mknod /lib/udev/devices/fd0 b 2 0" b) add "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,users,rw 0 0" to /etc/fstab, c) run command "mkdir /media/floppy", d) reboot. Thereafter, whenever a floppy is inserted, run command "mount /dev/fd0" to mount the floppy drive. After mounting, any query of the floppy drive status (such as "hwinfo --floppy") will state that there is no medium in the floppy drive. However the floppy disk can be accessed as normal for reading and writing.
