A suggestion: for /etc/fstab I'd like to recommend that you insert the following line:/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults 0 0 I personally prefer to use: /dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 auto defaults 0 0because it allows me to get in the habit of typing "fd0". It also works out well for people who have more than one floppy. I only have one, but still. The only people who won't like it, probably are people who are used to "floppy" and/or newbies. I'm not going to press the issue though, because it's only an install disk. I can always change it later on the installed system.
Although a few people do have two floppies, in the last five years I've seen only two (2) computers with such a configuration. Since "floppy" is already customary, and more newbie-friendly, and since one could trivially make a symlink from /mnt/fd0 to /mnt/floppy, IMHO I'd keep the standard configuration for the install.
