OK, I admit it. I'm hopelessly lost here.

Seems like I can't find files on the floppy drive under KDE.

Is there an equivalen to the DOS a:\ ???? :(

Depends on your distro. Try /mnt/floppy. If you're using something like mandrake, then if you type 'cd /mnt/floppy' in a terminal then it will mount your floppy automatically.

[Ignore the rest if it works now]

To mount your floppy drive try typing 'mount /mnt/floppy'. The full command which should always work is 'mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy' for a standard DOS/'doze disk.
