This is the result ls -l /dev/fd0:
brw-rw----    1 root     floppy     2,   0 2004-11-26 07:15 /dev/fd0
And this of ls -l /media/ :
totale 8
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            6 2004-10-19 18:56 cdrom -> cdrom0
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 2004-10-19 18:56 cdrom0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            7 2004-10-19 18:56 floppy -> 
floppy0
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 2004-10-19 18:56 floppy0
I've tried that while the floppy was mounted:
drwxr--r--    2 agenteo  agenteo      7168 2004-11-26 07:25 floppy0
the output of:
cat /etc/group | grep floppy
is:
floppy:x:25:agenteo,hal,test

A clue, if I plugin a USB pendrive I didn't see a sda icon on the 
desktop like ususal. Maybe thoose two thinks are linked?
