Since I started to use html and CSS to create my presentations (instead of OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office), even quite large presentations fit on regular 1.4MB floppies. Thus I popped an empty floppy into the drive and formatted it as ext2. Funnily the GUI floppy mounter is not able to recognise the file system when it is set to autodetect. Thus I formatted as MS-DOS and the autodetect file system works. Strange...

The sticky bit

Being fed up with VMware (because it's so slow and using half of my memory) I turned to Wine. But Wine appears to be very difficult to set up. Typical Linux. It will work but unless you spend a whole week you don't get it working. That's where the Corssover Office application comes in. It's just a bunch of helper applications to make setting up wine easy. That is with certain Windows applications and most Windows applications are not supported.
