Hi Robert,

Thanks for your advice.

Add 'vfat' to  /etc/fstab
# mount /mnt/floppy
works

Floppy icon on KDE desktop also works

Stephen,
Here's my fstab line that works for me:

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat noauto,rw,user 0 0

Hi all folks,

I have problem in mounting floppy. /etc/fstab as follow;

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,user,kudzu 0 0

On konsole window
# mount /mnt/floppy
did not work requesting for file system
Also floppy drive icon on KDE desktop could not be mounted, requesting
for file system.

# mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
worked

After
# umount /mnt/floppy

Then
# mount /mnt/floppy
worked

Also floppy drive icon on KDE desktop could be mounted.

I must mount the floppy with 't vfat' first then mounting works
eternally until after relogin.  I could not discover the trick causing
this problem.

Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.
