Comment 379 for bug 441835

What is this about this bug?

I think it was Martin who said rather a long while ago that he got tired of this bug and he didn't know how to fix it; whatever he tried.

But indeed: there are many a people using Linux that still need access to a floppy.
I, for one.

In Lucid you can fix the problem by downgrading "udisks", but that's it.

What lies beyond Lucid does not seem to be able to access any floppy any more. (Not only Ubuntu's.)

Puppy still can, but for how long to come?

I can understand that developers are getting tired of this bug, but still...
There are still people around the globe who need floppy access.

E.G.: I instaal or test run many distro's.
Without my floppy boot back-up, I will get very often in lots of trouble booting.

I need that floppy access!
