AFAIK, you have to mount it by hand, though as I

a while since I've had to resort to using a

may have changed (though from the sounds of
things, they haven't)
It doesn't and there are no /dev/fd? devices.
There are some entries in
a directory called /dev/fd, which don't appear
to be floppy related:
They're your per-process file-descriptors. You should have a /dev/fd0 does lsmod | grep floppy show anything?

Well as I've just posted, inserting a floppy in FC5 returns nothing, although removable devices are supposed to be autodetected with FC5. CDROM stuff is detected, although with a lot of bulls,,t boxes,asking what you want to do with the media.
I've just moved the same floppy to the other machine running FC2, opened Kdiskfree, mounted the floppy, and then opened it in a file manager. Works like clockwork.

Floppies are not automounted when you insert a floppy in an FC5 machine. In most cases you have to become root to mount it via command line. # mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
It worked beautifly for FC2 - FC4 (Using either system tools -> disk management -> user mount tool or kdiskfree/kwikdisk) since I skipped FC1.
some CD are not automounted either, but when that happens I mount them through command line.
