Guys I do NOT care what you at UBUNTU  are smoking but it must be good.

After reading good part of this, it is clear to me that Floppy support
is BROKEN BY PURPOSE per #271.

It is unacceptable that when one runs STUPIDLY BASIC CALL like "mount
/dev/fd0 /dir" this call _silently_ fails and Devs consider it "well
worth the desktop loading speedup".

Had enough of this not-usable-by-design. Upgrading to Debian A.S.A.P.

Sorry for the rant but this was a last straw. This culture of not-newest-thing-is-not-worth-our-time makes me sad.
It is precisely what will break Ubuntu's bone and keep Windows at the top.
