In general, there is very little integration between KDE and low-level operating system functions such as device or filesystem management on FreeBSD. Now (as in the very latest version of the kdebase port) that the media:/ view works halfway right in FreeBSD, the easiest way is to make fstab entries for the respective devices/mountpoints, making sure they're mountable by the users who need them and letting users access them through the media:/ view in konqueror (or the dynamic device icons which users can turn on in KControl/Desktop/Behaviour/Device Icons). Note that media:/ cannot see or handle any sort of device or filesystem that has no fstab entry. This also affects the functionality of the dynamic device icons - only the 'Mounted' or 'Unmounted' device types will work. Users can also make static device links on their desktops by right clicking on the desktop, then selecting Create New/Link to Device/[Device Type]. Depending on the selected device type the .desktop files which get created in ~/Desktop may need some hand-editing afterwards though. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
