How do I find a floppy drive in /dev (not in /dev/fd!)?
I have purchased a Mitsumi USB (external) floppy drive, and, having attached it to my computer, I am trying to find where it is located in /dev.

For the last month or so I am seeing the Xorg process gradually gobble up more and more CPU, up to 30/40% and in some cases 99%. Even X on its own seems a little sluggish, e.g. when I change windows the gnome i... 25 Jan 2006 22:07

cannot mount cdrom/dvd drive
I've managed to get Debian 2.6 installed on my system using a Pioneer DVD/CD-ROM Drive. After the install I wanted to use the DVD/CD as a source and found that the system does not recognize the drive. I also have a SATA drive 200GB installed.
