New question #78977 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/78977

Binary package hint: nautilus

Ubuntu 8.10 does not see the floppy drive - there seems to be no icon for it, and it does not appear
in the file browser.

The floppy hardware is working OK, as it boots on a MSDOS 6.2 floppy OK.

Is there a way to diagnose or reinstall the floppy drive from Ubuntu or a terminal window?

This version of Ubuntu was passed out at Scale7x in Los Angeles, 2/09.

THANKS
