Comment 343 for bug 441835

Here, we have been doing the following, simply creating two events using 'Create Launcher.'

One with the command <udisks --mount /dev/fd0> for mounting floppy disks.

One with the command <sudo mformat -f 1440 a:> for formatting floppy disks.

And then simply having two Icons on the desktop.

This has been working fine for Unbuntu 10.04 and 11.04

We used floppy disks all day for the cameras we use here with no difficulties.

Just FYI on what we've done to get around this.
