Binary package hint: xubuntu-docs
When trying to copy to floppy, it says Abi file is write protected. When I drag the abi file onto the floppy icon, it says "permission denied. I tried to change permissions, but it would not allow me to change. This should be a simple process, but getting very frustrating. I saved the Abi file to the desktop and then tried to save it to the user folder, and it said folder was "write protected". NOTE: I saved the file as a microsoft DOC file, to be opened in XP later on.
Update July 13: I am Recycling and refurbishing older computers and donating to those in need. I use xubuntu on slower computers such as athlon and celeron CPU's. On over a dozen of these computers, I cannot save an Abi word file to a floppy disk. What more information do you possibly need? Try it yourselves.
Thank you.
Using Version 8.04 Written to disk
Dougie: I have not tried other file types, as all those computers have been donated to families with young children. These children need a simple way to save their files to a floppy drive, not using the command line, something similar to windows; save as .....to A:.
And yes, the floppy was mounted. This problem seems to exist only in xubuntu. In Ubuntu 8.04, this is not a problem. Perhaps some code has been left out of xubunto that will solve this problem.Also not a problem in Mint either.
PS: This is the only distro suited to older Athlon and Celeron machines. 600 - 900 MHZ
not a documentation issue
