What I don't get is why the "floppy" module is not automatically loaded in the Intrepid kernel. I understand that virtually no laptops and consistently fewer desktops include floppy drives nowadays, but it's a 76 KiB driver, for the sake of the FSM! I think that it should be loaded by default in the following cases _at the very least_: 1. Upgrades from Hardy et al: these versions did have it enabled, so the disappearance of their floppy drive can be anything to users, from puzzling to annoying. 2. New installations, if there is a floppy drive detected: the LiveCD should load the driver so that the installer could check if there are any floppy drives Also, any required drivers should be auto-loaded if an USB floppy drive is connected, of course.
