F18: USB flash drives do not mount

[Zoltan Hoppar]

Hi Ranjan,

Please give me a bit more detailed feedback -
- what kind of UI you are using with F18?
- uname -a - current kernel
- did you know that Fedora has an /run folder that has been added?
- lsusb ?

If you are using LXDE witch is basicaly openbox with some graphics
tools, you have to know that such lightweight systems at default has
no automount - only if it's something hasn't been added. So, can you
give more clearer info?

Thanks,

Zoltan
