I just installed this Distro, because out of ten different ones Freespire to fedora, Suse 11 to BSD, it was the only [live CD] one to recognize and allow opening my USB floppy.
However after installing it, I tried formating a floppy, and it keep telling me I don't have Write permission to access the Drive, and to see my Administrator.
Well I [the User] saw Me [the Administrator] and decided neither of us had a clue, and to ask for help.
Help ?How do a access the write permissions for devices under Mint?

Re: Read Write Permissions
I have several dozen Floppies I wanted to Format.
I have to do every one with the Terminal. Leaping Lizards Batman, DOS returns.
Wait a Minute I tried it.
