Really?  Did you have to do anything special to get it to auto mount?  I
have never seen RH8, RH9 or FC1 auto mount any of my USB mass-storage
devices.  When I plug in my mass-storage digital camera, the
mass-storage module is loaded, but that is all.  When I put a smart
media card into my PCMCIA reader, again the modules are loaded but
/dev/hde1 is never mounted, the same goes for a USB thumb drive and my
mass-storage MP3 recorder/player.  Is there anyway to turn this feature
on?  I had to make the entries in /etc/fstab and then I right click on
the Gnome desktop and mount what I want under the disks menu.  I did
notice that Mandrake auto mounts these devices, is there any reason that
FC1 does not?
