In intrepid with Gnome, adding module floppy (with modprobe or as an inserted line in /etc/modules for permanent use) seems not to be enough. When you click "Places > Floppy" the drive rotates for a while but the floppy does not get mounted.
Xubuntu intrepid recognized floppies after I changed the fs-type from auto to vfat in /etc/fstab. What an earth does the menu item "Places > Floppy" and how to change it's properties in Gnome. I could force the floppy to be read in Gnome with command "sudo mount -a". Remaining trouble was, that I had not enough rights to unmount it without root privileges. Hello developers, there are still a markable number of people using floppies, especially the elder ones. These kind of things should work out of the box. Get some floppy drives to keep this thing in mind. Yours Jari J.
