Since FC5 the way that removable media is handled has been changed, and the floppy drive has lost out.

This is what I did on FC5, and presume will work ok on FC6.

As root on the CLI.
mkdir /media/floppy

Then with the aid of a text editor, add a line to /etc/fstab.

I used the line from my FC2 install, and it works ok. See below.

/dev/fd0       /media/floppy        auto       noauto,owner       0 0

Hope this works for you. It did for me on FC5.

Nigel.

Yeah, I remember doing something similar with FC5 too; I'll have to try this with 6. Thanks.
