WARNING<br />

Do not simply remove disks from the drive after using them. Floppy disks, CDs,<br />

and DVDs must always be unmounted from the system first. Close all file<br />

manager sessions still accessing the medium then right-click the icon for the<br />

medium and select Eject from the menu. Then safely remove the disk when<br />

the tray opens automatically.<br />

Format floppy disks by clicking Applications → System → File System → Floppy<br />

Formatter. Select the density <strong>of</strong> the floppy disk and the file system settings: Linux native<br />

(ext2), the file system for Linux, or DOS (FAT) to use the floppy with Windows systems.<br />

7.4 Managing Files and Folders with<br />

Nautilus<br />

Nautilus is GNOME's file manager and viewer. You can use Nautilus to create folders<br />

and documents, display and manage your files and folders, run scripts, write data to a<br />

CD, and open URIs. The following sections provide an overview <strong>of</strong> the basic functions<br />

<strong>of</strong> Nautilus and a few tips on its configuration. For more information, see the help pages<br />

for Nautilus. You can open Nautilus using the menu entry or by clicking the Computer<br />

or Home icon on the desktop.<br />

7.4.1 Navigating in Nautilus<br />

The standard window <strong>of</strong> Nautilus is shown in Figure 7.4, “Nautilus Standard Window”<br />

(page 186). The default view <strong>of</strong> a folder's content is the icon view featuring just an icon<br />

and the filename for each file. If configured accordingly, a preview <strong>of</strong> the file's content<br />

can be provided. When you double-click a folder icon, a new Nautilus window opens,<br />

displaying the folder's content.<br />
