It is NOT a sollution (I know), but for those who REALLY need a floppy, I suggest you use Puppy, Quirky or Wary. The floppy still works on those.
If you should install one of them on harddisk, only 500 MB to 1GB partition is needed. Your floppy will be accessible and you can copy any file from any partition you want to your floppy. Booting into Puppy, Quirky or Wary is very fast. You can also just use the live CD's or put them on a USB stick. But booting from harddisk is faster and it is always there when you need it, and also: you only need to make configurations once. It's not so handy as getting access to your floppy from your base Linux system, but it works, and that is what most of us need, isn't it?
