Description: This SLX HOWTO describes how you can enable the local floppy drive
for your users no matter which client system they log in to, thin, thick or
server.
Walkthrough:
Install support for remote floppy drives on thin clients
         1. Log in as root on the thin client server in question
         2. Download the package ltsp_floppy _h_e_r_e_.
         3. Decompress the package, enter the directory and run the install
            script.
         4. In the [Default] section in /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/lts.conf add the
            line:
            RCFILE_01 = floppyd
Enable users to mount floppy drives
         1. Log in as root on the thin client server in question
         2. In /etc/devfs/perms change
            REGISTER ^floppy/.*		PERMISSIONS root.floppy 0660
            to
            REGISTER ^floppy/.*		PERMISSIONS root.floppy 0666
         3. Do the same on every workstation
Enable local floppy drive for each user
         1. Log in as root on tjener.intern
         2. Create a script /etc/skel/.kde/Autostart/floppycheck.sh. with the
            following content:
            #!/bin/bash
            CLIENT=`echo $DISPLAY | tr 0-9 "-" | sed -e s/-.*//`
            if [ $CLIENT = "ltsp" ]; then
              echo 'drive a: file="$DISPLAY" remote 1.44m mformat_only' >
            ~/.mtoolsrc
            else
              echo 'drive a: file="/dev/floppy/0" 1.44m mformat_only' >
            ~/.mtoolsrc
            fi
         3. Run these commands in a bash shell:
            for dir in /skole/tjener/home0/*;
            do cp /etc/skel/.kde/Autostart/floppycheck.sh $dir/.kde/Autostart;
            chown --reference=$dir $dir/.kde/Autostart/floppycheck.sh;
            done
Unfortunately, you can only read floppies in Konqueror, so either convince all
your users not to use floppies, or install the package mtoolsfm to write to
floppies.
