i'll give it a shot the next time I try KDE.  Thanks.

The default debian autofs config should be good enough for testing
purposes.  Note that you have to have autofs support compiled into your
kernel (I don't think it works as a module, at least it didn't for me).

gnome has the mountable icons on the desktop as well, but they don't
help if someone is trying to access a floppy from inside an application.
Sometimes it's easier to retrain the computer than to retrain the users.

If you get autofs working let me know how Kong handles it.  Thanks.
