The missing CDrom and Floppy means that they're no longer using supermount and the game should now install using the mount and unmount commands.
to get the Cdrom and floppy back on the desktop you'll need to run supermount -i enable as root or su. Read the email I've just sent you for more details. Sorry the instructions are abit mucky.
