The file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi contains a commented-out example for telling gnome-volume-manager not to automount certain media. I think it should be possible to adapt this example so that it matches only your camera's card, using "lshal" to find a combination of match keys that are specific to this medium. (It is advisable to put customized rules into a separate fdi file, e.g. "local-rules.fdi", to ensure that upgrades of the hal package do not interfere with your own rules.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
