Okay -- Done. Got root terminal, gave mkdir and mount commands with apparent success, no change. I have booted tails on another computer, also tried other floppies (all of which are fine on those machines under windows) with the exact same results: Whatever I do, Tails says "No media." Both machines are Dells -- A Dimension 3000 and an Inspiron model that I can't remember. (And thank you for pointing out 'first steps.' I had missed that completely ...) The floppy drive has an icon in the 'my computer' display just as the other devices do. Double clicking (OPEN, right?) gets "No media." I can right click and get a menu that includes 'mount' ("No media") and 'detect media' (Nothing happens.) Doesn't matter whether there's a disk in the drive or not. Inserting a disk makes no difference. Attempts to open the device do cause it to be selected -- the LED comes on -- but evidently tails can't make sense of whatever's coming back. I'm homing in on 'bug.' I did look at the list, the FAQ, etc. but found nothing. Does anyone have anything else to suggest before I try reporting this?
