I has recently installed Mandrake 8 download version
on my system. After the installation, everything runs
fine except my floppy drive. It cannot read from or
write to any floppy disk with ext2 filetype at both
root and user account, but it can access any
Windows-formatted disk. My /etc/fstab has following
line:

/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount
fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0              

So I edit the line (after backup the original) to:

/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount
fs=ext2,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0

After the change, I now can read & write file to ext2
floppy, but can't access the Windows disk anymore.

>From what I read from some books, the original setup
is capable of accessing both filetypes. Or am I wrong?
If not, what change should I make?
