when you disable supermount then just create a new icon on the desktop and it will mount and unmount the floppy drive for you. When you put a disk in and click on the icon it should mount then show the disk , when you are done you can left click on the icon and unmount it or when you close the floppy screen it should unmount the floppy drive. Works for cdroms should for floppy. HTH Dennis M.
