I have tried it in many different ways, both having and not having
entries in /etc/fstab , both having and not having folder /media/fd0
created... I have the same problem as Claudia. The floppy does get
mounted, and you can see it when you go /media/fd0/ , but media:/fd0
shows nothing at the same time.

I have read so many threads in Ubuntu forums regarding this problem,
that I would ask it this way:

COULD ANYBODY CONFIRM THAT THEY HAVE THE MEDIA:/ THING WORKING CORRECTLY
WITH FLOPPIES, CD'S, DVD'S AND FLASH STICKS?

As far as I am concerned, this media:/ malfunction breakes a lot of
functionality in KDE. IT IS A HIGH PRIORITY BUG TO FIX.
