You probably already have: /dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0

Good point,



I have /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0

So I guess
/dev/sda /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0

Would  be the right thing, and in fact it works!

The only thing which remains to be done is to configure  the KDE floppy
symbol to mount correctly the device. I will try this.

Thanks



It's great that the KDE community is addressing ms* floppies, but, remember mtools (i.e. mcopy and mdir and
mdel) allows one to iteract with ms* floppies without mounting....
