I have some trick regarding floppy. No need to open terminal, sudo
mount etc etc....
This is how:
1. Right Click on the Task Bar (Panel)
2. Add to Panel
3. Select "Disk Mounter"
4. Voila, it will show an icon on the Panel for floppy.
5. Insert the Floppy disk and click on the icon> Mount floppy
6. When done, click on the icon again... Umount floppy.

What's best... It works for all other mountable: flashdisk, external
hdd, CD/DVD, etc.. :)
