Thx jef :)
here is the output :
[root ws016 ~]# /sbin/lsmod |grep floppy
floppy                 57733  0
[root ws016 ~]# lshal |grep fd0
  block.device = '/dev/fd0'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/block/fd0'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/block/fd0'  (string)
[root ws016 ~]#

Well, if i click on the floppy mounter i get an error
if i try in a shell : gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0, i get an error.
The only way i found is :
#mount /dev/fd0 /tmp/floppy (i created a floppy dir in /tmp)
