I've installed Ubuntu Breezy for some family members who are using
it and loving it, having no problems with it in their move from
Windows. No problems that is, until a few days ago when I was
summoned to help them with an error they demonstrated for me when
trying to mount a floppy and write to it in KDE 3.5.0, it just
didn't work. (I installed kubuntu-desktop for them following an
install of ubuntu and they prefer to use KDE)

How come you're using KDE 3.50? 3.4.3 is in the repositories for Breezy, and 3.5.1 (with a few holdouts) there for Dapper.
