Well as I've just posted, inserting a floppy in FC5
returns nothing, although
removable devices are supposed to be autodetected
with FC5. CDROM stuff is
detected, although with a lot of bulls,,t
boxes,asking what you want to do
with the media.
I've just moved the same floppy to the other machine
running FC2, opened
Kdiskfree, mounted the floppy, and then opened it in
a file manager. Works
like clockwork.

Floppies are not automounted when you insert a floppy
in an FC5 machine. In most cases you have to become
root to mount it via command line.
# mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
It worked beautifly for FC2 - FC4 (Using either system
tools -> disk management -> user mount tool or
kdiskfree/kwikdisk) since I skipped FC1.
some CD are not automounted either, but when that
happens I mount them through command line.
