Yes, but not that bad, and with many Linux versions. I believe
my problems stem from not havin bought any new floppy's in several
years. They do go bad. Also many were overformatted to <= 1992K and
that tends to make them forever unstable, even when reformatted to
1440k.
What fs (ext2, DOS)are you using? and what does your floppy fstab
line look like?
