Nigel,
Well your'e not the only one who is seriously T'd off with FC5. After 3
installs and one update to FC5, I finally had it, and dropped back to FC4.
But I think part of the problems I have been having are related to the
kernel. The 2.6.15 series works fine, however the 2.6.16 series both for FC4
and FC5, has caused me nothing but grief. Most of my problems seem to deal
with software problems. Example Star Office 6.0 which both loads and
installs under FC4 2.6.15, does not load, or is able to even be installed
under the 2.6.16 kernel. Why? I have know idea, but I suspect that something
was changed in the 2.6.16 kernel that has created a series of
incompatabilities both with software and maybe some types of hard ware. I
too had some problems with FC5 reading a Floppy Drive, but it reads just
fine under FC4.

As you no doubt realise, I'm seriously T'd off with
FC5, and thats leaving aside the Ragr 128's r128 driver problem.

Use Kwikdisk in KDE. It should let you mount a floppy

/media/floppy should be present though for this to
work.
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
Hope that kwikdisk/kdiskfree is installed on your
computer and this little problem goes away for you.
Worst case is open up a terminal $ su -
password: ***
# mkdir -p /media/floppy # mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
and your floppy should be mounted & ready.
