Usually, the (actual) media is mounted as /media/myusbdrive or something, so why would zip write to /media?
If the gui program you use understands that you are requesting to compress the whole /media/myusbdrive it will try to do so to the parent dir, which is, of course, /media, and it will fail.
That would be a bit odd since if you zipped up "myusbdrive", you would have a (most likely) unwanted extra directory component in the archive.
I haven't tried konq., but compressing /media/myusbdrive with mc would create the file /media/myusbdrive.zip, residing in /media. This would fail for a normal user with "permission denied". I'm just trying to guess what the OP did, though... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
