Wow was this ever disasterous!
mount /media/floppy said it was already mounted
unmount /media/floppy said it was busy.
then I tried fuser -m /media/foppy
and it returned 2565
so I: kill 2565
and the system goes haywire! terminal takes off like the enter key is
stuck down.
I close terminal then the desktop goes blewy and starts opening all sorts
of windows. I manage to get to shutdown, but nothing happens. Finally I
just powered down.....
There has GOT to be a better way!
