Has Ubuntu decided to stop supporting floppy drives? I can see no
mention of solving these problems on the developer's e-mail list. It is
as if you should throw the hardware away if it does not work in Breezy.




I guess we put Debian back on --- damn 35 boxes to re-do but at least
our hardware would be supported.
