Comment 21 for bug 103378

Kubuntu 8.10
Found a solution for this bug combining some ideas from the forums.
1.
Make a "floppy" dir into "media" dir: sudo mkdir /media/floppy
2.
Add this to fstab: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
3.
Mount floppy: sudo mount -o rw -t auto /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
4.
Maybe manually add floppy group to root and normal user.

Don't now yet if some of these can be made automaticaly.

Thank you all. I hope this may help others.
P.D.: I think this issue is not a cause to reject such a solid O.S., but "obsolete" is not a good argument for any distro of a console-lover-system...
