Please tell me how to make a Mac Floppy automount...


Todd,

in /usr/filesystems there should be a directory called mac.fs

Executor sometimes (usually) renames it to mac.fs.SAVE (or something
close to that) and put in another directory called macintosh.fs (or
something)...  to get mac floppies to mount, just remove the macintosh.fs 
dir and rename mac.fs.SAVE to mac.fs (you have to do this as su root)

this actually works, and I have not had any further problems mounting
Mac floppies after this.
