That would depend on which gui or window manager you are using.
You can access the floppy drive in the file browser, whether it is 
konqueror, nautilus or another, by surfing into /mnt/floppy (most likely 
label).  I'm assuming that floppies are automounting for you, if you are 
accessing them from a desktop icon.  If not, you will have to open a 
terminal and type
% mount /mnt/floppy
Before removing a floppy, you would then ahve to type:
% umount /mnt/floppy

Hope that helps.
