Floppy working in a live cd xubuntu 10.10
I have tried xubuntu 10.10 from live cd and got a floppy icon on the desktop. It could be mounted, opened and I could read a file, but not write (only root permission).
Later I have installed xubuntu desktop in an ubuntu 10.10 version. Here the floppy could not be mounted, and properties of the floppy drive says 8.9 GB free ???
I think this gives one more hint about the bug, which Canonical has not been able to solve during more than a year.
On the same Pc I have during a year used Poppy Linux 4.3.1., which starts from cd, works very fast from memory and have no problems with floppies.
