[Bug 30207] Re: media:/ does not handle floppy mounting correctly

[Alain R.]

BrianFitzgerald's instructions does not work anymore like he wrote them.
You can't select the floppy from the list, you have to type /dev/fd0 (or whatever your floppy is)
If I select Floppy0 from the dropdown it tries to mount /dev/
(what of course fails)
Appearently /media/floppy0 mounts the wrong device.

Modified instructions for edgy: 
Right click on an empty area of the desktop.
Move the mouse pointer over the 'Create New' line to expand the menu.
Move the mouse pointer over the 'Link to Device' line to expand the menu more.
Left click on the 'Floppy Device' line on the device list. This should bring up a window for setting the properties of the link.
Open the 'Device' tab and type in /dev/fd0 (or whatever your floppy is)
Finally, click on the 'OK' button to create a link icon on the desktop.

Clicking on this desktop icon will open Konqueror, mount the floppy (if
unmounted) and it will display the files on your floppy.
