Hi,
I've just reinstalled a windows computer with debian today. While I
can add an entry to fstab to allow user to be able to mount an
external drive, it won't allow flexible usage of external
drive/thumbdrive.
If you are using a recent enough version of debian (etch or later),
just adding the user to the floppy group should be enough.
# adduser <username> floppy
Next time the user logs in, plugging in an external drive automatically
mounts it.
I realized that Ubuntu allows users to plug just
about anything and have it automatically mounted.
Funny that you mention this, since I am finding it difficult to disable
that 'feature' in Ubuntu. Apparently it is not as simple as removing the
user from the floppy group (or plugdev, in case of ubuntu)
Can I do the same in
Debian? That means, allowing user to plug a thumbdrive or external
drive and let the computer do the rest.

At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will
find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the
computer.
