24.9 Floppy Disk Mounting
Edit /etc/fstab to add the following line to allow any user
to mount /media/floppy which is particularly convenient from
the GNOME mount applets which you can click on to cause a mount or
unmount. Or create symbolic links for GNOME from your
~/.gnome-desktop directory to /media/floppy. Then
GNOME seems to magically do the mounting for you when you open them
(they will appear on your GNOME desktop and you can change the
icons to more appropriate symbols such as a floppy). I guess you
better make sure you unmount the floppy before you physically remove
the media.
