Hi folks,

It turns out I'm also not able to mount a usb floppy drive.  Connecting 
the drive makes an unmounted floppy icon appear in My Computer.  
However, I can't mount it or open it.  (Sometimes have the same trouble 
with CD drives.)

Removing legacy floppy in BIOS and fstab does not help except to make My 
Computer look tidier.

Could you spell out in more detail what's involved in

Back down to 1.0.1-1build1


or point me at the relevant info.

Thanks,

Graham
