[Bug 317298] Re: Install KFloppy by default

Would just be wasting precious CD space. Quoting Wikipedia:
"While floppy disk drives still have some limited uses, especially with legacy industrial computer equipment[1], they have now been largely superseded by USB flash drives, CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs."

Only real common use case would be a repair floppy (although the
installation CDs for Kubuntu are preferred method anyway), and if you
have such grave issues that you would need a floppy, kfloppy wouldn't
help much either ... that is if $pc even got a floppy drive, which is
highly unlikely nowadays.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
