Christof,
I could be wrong, but to the best of my knowledge Fedora does not automount
these devices. Root must create a mount point under /mnt and also make an
entry in fstab (one time only). After that, right click on the desktop to
mount/unmount the drive (GNOME). By the way, Mandrake 9.2 *does* automount usb
devices, so it must be possible somehow.
