[CentOS] Mount floppy on startup?

In reality, it is because I am anal.

I changed to CentOS from Gentoo, and with Gentoo, there was no /media
directory. I had drives mounted to /media/music , /media/television, and
so on.

So, when I changed to CentOS, by habit I wanted the same structure.

Now when connecting to my samba share that connects to the /media
directory, I get two other directories; floppy and lost+found.

I guess it isn't a big deal, but it definitely bothers me. There has to
be a reason that that dir and fstab line are being added.

The fact that I don't know how it works bothers me more than having
those two directories  =).

Ah, I thought you meant that you were having mounts take place when
the floppy disc was present in the drive.

Why do you care if there is an empty directory?

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
