When you say you can't get your Floppy diosk drive to work in Linux
what exactly are you trying to do with it?  Like many others I have
had no problems with floppy drives in several generations of Linux
installations. 

What are you expecting to happen when you put a floppy in the disk
drive? How are you trying to access it?
