This is a permissions problem, but not in the way you think, and has nothing to do with KDE. It is solely related to /etc/fstab, and the entry for your floppy drive. The 4th column has all the permissions controls, and you will need to add the comma separated entry of 'user' to allow mortal users the right to mount floppies. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
