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.
