I've tried on two different machines (P75+PCI & 486VLB), it makes no difference. I know floppy disks shouldn't be removed when used :), but i think an OS should not crash for stupid things like this. My linux box at home doesn't crash when i remove a floppy :) (no flame please) Is there a way to correct this problem ?
