Hi everybody |

I've got a mini form factor Pentium 4 I just acquired. I have a huge amount |
| 4 |
of floppy disks to make backup images of as well as write to new floppies. |
| 5 |
Yeah I know, floppies suck, but i thought i could use Gentoo on it to make |
| 6 |
the process less painful. This is a plain internal floppy drive so not a |
| 7 |
USB one. Do you need build any packages with floppy support or just make |
| 8 |
sure it's in the kernel? When i was doing some googling to see if i would |
| 9 |
have issues trying to do floppy stuff with the latest kernels, it seemed |
| 10 |
like that could be a potential issue. |

I will do my main compiling on my main PC then send it to the P4 to keep it |
| 13 |
from burning itself up. haha. |
