mounting a floppy

With regard to mounting a floppy, I am now here in Ubuntu Warty again, and
I just tried Computer>Discs>Floppy right click "Mount Volume", which I had
actually tried before, and I got the same results--an error message that
the program cannot identify the file system or one was not specified. I
get the same problem when I try to run "sudo mount /dev/fd0
/media/floppy". It still wants to know the file system. Same disc in
Mepis or SuSE it just mounts. What gives? I really don't know what it
wants me to call the file system, and there is no way to specify a file
system in the drop down menu process. A tad frustrating. Not really a
good thing.
On the up side, my wireless card came right back up when I booted back
into Ubuntu. Nice.
Thanks,
Don J.
