no it wasn't, I had the very same problem with Xwc and sometimes 
with console's cp too,
I think it was a supermount problem that messed up something when 
writing to floppies: in fact, reading was ok (and it still is 
with cdrom, which I continue to use with supermount),
substituting the /etc/fstab floppy line with "auto" instead of 
"supermount" (and other editing) made everything clear now: I 
tried and stressed different floppy disks but I never had the 
same problem,
I heard Mandrake had similar problems with supermount on 8.1 and 
they decided not to include it in that distro, maybe they hoped 
it was better now so reincluded it...

anyway, I'm going to switch to Debian when Woody with KDE is out 
:)

thanks everyone,
