what are you talking about could be possible in the following way. 1. only root can mount/un-mount partitions 2. sudo (from ports collection) allows you to act as root (hey ! make sure you allow to mount/umount ONLY cd & floppy, not ANY partition !) 3. KDE has possibility to make shortcuts, which can include scripts. so you can write you own script (with sudo command), put shortcut on a desktop and viola ! well, I haven't tried it yet. but I think I urgently need it also, because I'll be soon supervisor of a public access computers in our University, I'm not going to reinstall junky microsoft products every day !!!!
