floppyd must be running on the machine to be accessed.  mtools must be 
configured and running on the machine running konqueror 2.1-beta for 
konqueror to use it.  mtools can be configured to use the display 
environment variable to redirect access to a different machine.
The drive letters are arranged however you configure mtools.  for 
specific commands and configuration get the package from 
http://mtools.linux.lu
It may already be installed on your box.  run man on mtools.
