> Hi folks.
> I'm now running Linux on a dual boot system since the old P166 that I
had

> Is it possible for a 3.5 floppy drive to work flawlessly under Win98,
and
> give very mixed results under Linux?
> I am running Slackware 8.0 kernel 2.2.19.  Also if I use the fdformat
> command to format a floppy, do I need to run makefs as well, or is that
> further evidence of this drive being messed up?
> Fortunately I have another here, but I wanted to be sure before I go
> ripping things apart.
