I forgot to mention that to delete /mnt/floppy I had to type the command "rm -f /mnt/floppy" quickly, or the system hung for a couple minutes while typing the command (something to do with the command completion, I think). I also had to use the -f switch, because otherwise the system hung for a couple minutes while asking for confirmation.

Sounds like an issue I had with a laptop install of Kanotix a while back. Here's the fix Kano gave me (which always works for me)...
Disable the automounter:
Code:
/etc/init.d/autofs stop
And to remove it from starting automatically:
Code:
update-rc.d -f autofs remove

thanks, that worked!
Hi -
The last two solutions (deleting the "floppy" file, and disabling the automounter) seemed to work for me. So I went with the deletion, since permanently disabling the automounter just doesn't sound like a good idea.
Thanks so much for all your help,
V.

But how to proceed if using a livecd ?
I have the same problem using a livecd on a dell cpi,cpt latitude laptop.
When browsing graphically in KDE the automounter does it's job and goes trough all mnt list .
Can I delete the /mnt/floppy from a read-only system ?
