this is a bug i try to track since some weeks....
could you add your experience to
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=5060

and send me an image of a floppy that didnt work. create it with:

dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/home/$USER/Desktop/floppy.img

and mail me the resulting file that appeared on your desktop ?

ciao

this out before hoary ;)
