Yeah, I have a similar problem. I've been getting around it by setting up a mount point through webmin (something ubuntu hasn't had, and still doesn't have in its repository for ages for some reason) Anyway, today I realised if I simply made the folder it mounted to readable by all users, then "KwikDisk" does a good job of mounting and unmounting. Have a look though at the error message in dolphin/ Konqueror, mine said that HAL was unavailable or something like that. cheers JOn -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
