I think if you upgrade to 2.6.12, use the upgraded hal and udev and use gnome-volume-manager, you should be all set. If you are using KDE, IIRC you cannot do that automounting stuff and you have to use gnome-volume-manger even in KDE to get this done. Additionaly, you and all users who want to use plugable USB drives should be in plugdev group. ->HS > Any help is good help, thanks in advance... > > Michael > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
