+ Notes / known problems about mounting devices in media:/ with HAL enabled:
+
+ - Removable media drives (such as CD-ROM drives) *MUST NOT* be listed in
+ /etc/fstab in order to be mountable.
+
+ - If you mount a volume by double-clicking it, it may appear empty. Refresh
+ the fileview in konqueror to see the files.
+
+ - Mounting floppies is currently not supported.
+
+ You can still mount them in KDE if ...
+
+ - You have an fstab entry for your floppy pointing to a mountpoint
+ owned by your user (i.e. somewhere in your homedir)
+ - The vfs.usermount sysctl is set to 1
+
+ ... by creating a floppy device icon on your KDE desktop and selecting
+ the above-mentioned fstab entry in the device dropdown list on the
+ device tab.
+
+ - Mounting volumes from fixed drives is prohibited for non-superusers
+ by default.
