Just a note here about floppy disks that y'all probably know, but caught
me off-guard.
If you use the graphical mechanisms (nautilus) for copying files to a
floppy disk, the files will not be transferred if you reboot the system
from the Desktop->LogOut menu item.
I think that this could be done logically:
if (disk is mounted && runlevel == 6)
sync floppy disk
unmount floppy
Right now, if you don't "unmount" the floppy, your files will not
actually be on the disk.
