Depends on which dist (stable/unstable). In stable you can edit the /etc/login.defs file and turn on CONSOLE_GROUPS, and add floppy as one of them. This makes any user logging into the console able to use the floppy. In potato, you must edit the /etc/pam.d/login file and edit configure the pam_groups.so module. Ben
