Hi guys,

Thanks Jorge. I found the root console and will use it all the time.

Stephen, the message I get is

sudo: qtparted: command not found

Here is the (partial) solution I have found. My goal is to be able to have access to the pen drives under several OS's - Knoppix, OS X, Mac OS 9, XP, ME & 98. After several permutations, I formatted the pen drive in MS-DOS format under OS X. This was the only format I could find that could be read by OS X, XP and Knoppix. However, under Knoppix, the drive does not show up on the KDE desktop even though I am able to mount and write to it from the console. I tried Refresh Desktop and also rebooting. If I could get it to show up that would be great but if not, at least my students can get their Java files saved on it. BTW, which of the several editors that come with Knoppix do you recommend for editing Java files?

Thanks,
Jeff
