ok, I inserted a brand new USB stick ( a nice new 4GB..)
looked in syslog and it looks like this:
Aug 16 08:39:12 paulandcilla kernel: [50428.685327]  sdg: sdg1
Aug 16 08:39:12 paulandcilla kernel: [50428.719914] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdg] Attached SCSI removable disk Aug 16 08:39:12 paulandcilla kernel: [50428.719914] sd 10:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg7 type 0

but it didn't automount. what do I need to do to make it automount?

GNOME or KDE. Maybe Xfce. If you use some other WM, then look at autofs5 or maybe ivman.

BTW, GNOME & KDE automount such drives for you.  Are you using
something else?  If so, in /etc/fstab I'd refer to that drive not as
/dev/sda but by it's UUID.
I have 2 or 3 different USB sticks that I would like to automount, how do I find out or determine their UUID??

# blkid /dev/sdg1

in the process of looking at what i do have mounted, I noticed a bunch of chroot stuff..

paulandcilla:/var/log# mount (skip the normal mounted stuff)

devpts-live on /home/live/chroot/dev/pts type devpts (rw)
proc-live on /home/live/chroot/proc type proc (rw)
sysfs-live on /home/live/chroot/sys type sysfs (rw)
-------------------
I was attempting to make a Debian ISO using someones web HOW-TO, but that was last week.. what have I done to my system, and how do I get rid of those mounted things??

That's a question for someone who's used chroot...  ;)
