My fstab has following info about the floppy;

That fstab line is intended for automatically mounting the floppy. Simply reading from "/media/floppy" will mount it.
If you want manually mount, use something like this:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
Additional info; I am running 9.3 on a Pentium II with KDE 3.5.
If you want to disable automount:

If I go back to the original fstab setting I can use the floppy from kmymoney and konqueror (as user) but not from the mycomputer or floppy Icons on the desktop. Do I need to remove the floppy statement from mtab? Sorry to be a pest but I've tried everything suggested, if I did it right.
