After monkeying around with KDE 3.0, I recenltly discovered how to make
local floppy access work on the terminal server. It works with KDE 2.2.2
as well. You need to have the KDE packages installed on the Terminal
Server, as well as the 'mtools' package.
The client's need to run a daemon supplied with the mtools package called
'floppyd'. If you are running LTSP 2.0+ All that is required, is to add
the line:
-
RCFILE_01 = floppyd
-
Under the "[Default]" definition in the /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf
You will need to create a file in your home directory named '.mtoolsrc'
containing:
-
drive a: file="$DISPLAY" remote
-
I've added this file to /etc/skel (so it will be automatically created
in new users home directories upon account creation).
Reboot the client machine. Plug in a DOS formatted diskette.
Fire up the 'konqueror'. Browse to "floppy:/". Now you can view/modify
floppy disk contents via a GUI on the server.
I'll be drafting something about local sound support soon.
