poogle....for me, I'm content to open an xterm, 'su -' to root
and then mount. User can then use the mounted device.
To the best of my knowledge, supermount only works for
dos/windows formatted floppies. Use traditional mounting to
access ext2 floppies. Personally, I find it most convenient
to simply use dos floppies for any floppy task.
