I have tried running the command--

But that was futile. Duff, Is /mnt/data a mount point? ... for a floppy, for a usb?
Try this... mount the device (whatever) to /mnt/data and then create a directory there called local from root. Make the owner root, the group users: chown root /mnt/data/local chgrp users /mnt/data/local chmod 0774 /mnt/data/local Then, try to create a directory (using konqueror) from the right click menu. Should work fine. I always create a local directory on my usb drive partitions because sometimes the permissions get messed up on the mount point. So, instead of trying to create new directories on the mount point... I create them on an "inside" directory one level off the mount point... if that makes sense. Let me know. -- Kind regards, M Harris <><
