Hi all,
in order to make Linux usable for the ones who are completly new to
computers, we are looking for a solution to mount and unmount floppys
and cdroms.
So far I tested rox, which is due to its dependencies not good for our
needs.
As a first step, I integrated some icons into iceWM which call the
simple commands like:
xterm -e ".../mount /mnt/cdrom"
...
The main problem here is, that even if the mount fails, the user does
not see a message. This is worst in the case of umounting the floppy
(for the cd I used eject, wich gives a reasonable feedback to the user)
So my question is, if someone who already has the experience and knowhow
can write these 4 scripts (mount and umount floppy/cdrom), which gives
in the case of errors some feedback to the user. Xdialog is already
installed on these systems, since they use the screengrabbertool from rule.
Thanks in advance, Ingo.
P.S: Just fyi: mc is installed (and so perl)
