Thanks. Here is what I /think/ I want and why. I have an external drive that I really want to use to transport big directories. WinXP, Ubuntu 8.04, Ubuntu 8.10 and Kubuntu 8.10. Unfortunately, two of the computers I want to use it with are Kubuntu 8.04 which will not create a block device for it. Don't know why it works with *Ubuntu* 8.04. but not *Kubuntu* 8.04 as I understand the subsystem that creates the block devices is not part of the X Desktop environment, and should be the same, but that doesn't seem to be how it works. I have tested this on multiple machines running the various distros and it seems the behavior is not the result of an individual hardware or configuration thing. I don't want to move completely to KDE4 yet, but think I might need it to use this drive. I am looking for a Debian based distro that can log into either KDE 3 or KDE 4 the same way systems can log into KDE or Gnome.
