[ale] Are autoeject floppy drives available for linux??

[Larry Grenevitch]

If you use KDE Kwrite or any program with a file dialogue as of KDE 3.1 I 
believe will do a mount save file or load file and then an automatic unmount 
on the floppy.  

Otherwise, you are stuck with creating a desktop device floppy and double 
clicking on it to mount the floppy and then having to right click on it to 
unmount it.
