Hi Alan. I'm not trying to start a flame war here, but on FC2 I can insert a 
floppy, and with KDE's Kdiskfree can mount the floppy, then open it in a file 
manager with no problems. FC5 does not want to know.  As far as it is 
concerned using KDE, the floppy drive does not exist.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to complain about this problem, I want to 
see it fixed, and clearly, at least with KDE, there is a problem at the 
moment.

Perhaps the bright spark who decided to remove the removable media 
from /etc/fstab would post back, telling me how I can access my floppy drive 
while logged into KDE.

Nigel. (not too impressed with FC5)
