BUT within fc4 it was auto created during installation. There is no /media/floppy because 'gnome-mount/gnome-umount' creates and deletes these mount points and if you happen to have /media/floppy, regardless if currently in use or not, then it will be _not_ reused and /media/floppy-1, and if the last one is stuck for whatever reason then /media/floppy-2 will show up and so on. I do not like very much that design as, among other things, it is obviously lacking in robustnes. If anything goes wrong you are ending up with a mess in /media/ which only root can clean up even if non-root processes were responsible for it. This is the next thing which requires "special handling" if you try to have / read-only. Old user habits and lessons learned were not taken in a consideration too. Moreover you have to substitute your best guess for a documentation. But at the moment things are like they are.
