Asking questions is how we ALL learn. I sense some frustration from you which 
is understandable as its a difficult thing to learn a new system and this 
thread almost fell into a flamewar. I know there was some frustration from 
others in this thread as well because many of us knew you were dealing with two 
seperate issues that you seemed to have difficulty in seperating: automounting 
(whatever form it takes) requires mounting to work first. I think we were 
trying to get to the first issue first, before tackling the second. Its matter 
of developing problem solving skills -- something we all can benefit from, no 
matter our experience level.

So having said that, I'm glad its now working for you. Any insight as to what 
the problem was before? Maybe there is something there for us to learn.

As to automounting. It seems many people object to it as it takes away some 
control of the system and those objections are certainly valid. However, if you 
choose to use some form of automounting, you are free to do so and many here 
will help you if you need it. Note that there are several systems out there 
including some built in to GNOME and I think KDE as well that are probably what 
you are looking for. I'm almost positive that your experience in Ubuntu is the 
GNOME volume manager (?) that watches for USB events and so forth and 
automatically mounts the device and creates a desktop icon. 

good luck. /me leaves carefully trying not to step on toes.
