Can't say that it is a *bug*, but, yeah, the Gnome 1.0 desktop has an
icon that won't mount (missing file type) and running 'mount /floppy'
also fails.
I saw that /etc/fstab used 'auto' as the file system type, and decided
that replacing that with 'vfat' was better. While I was there I also
put the Win98 file system in there, just for fun.
