I have no idea what the "Gnome version" of FC3 is, but the plain FC3 from Red Hat does lose the floppy drive when later kernel updates are applied. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163865 One possible solution: Go to http://www.math.uh.edu/~tibbs/rpms/hal and download all of the files there which end in "i386.rpm" to an empty directory. Change to that directory and, as root, run "rpm -Fvh *". If you want access to USB stick devices to go fast with new FC3 kernels as well, go to http://www.math.uh.edu/~tibbs/rpms/hal-nosync and get the packages from there instead. Of course these are unofficial packages, but they're in use on a couple hundred FC3 desktops here. There's no official solution that I know of. - J< -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
