My needs are fairly modest re. my cheap 'n' cheerful Fuji FinePix 1300 digital camera. Images can be accessed via the USB port... e.g. I can do things like: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /camera (where /camera exists already) Now I'd (maybe) like to put an entry into /etc/fstab like: /dev/sda1 /camera rw,auto,user,exec 0 0 But the problem seems to be when nothing is connected and/or powered up at boot time, SuSE is (naturally?) not happy with this line. When I *do* power up the camera during a session, SuSE then appends it's own line as: /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0 #HOTPLUG B3Fu.DpqVjiHbEi5 which presumably allows me to access the camera as above. My question is: CAN access be automated via /etc/fstab file with such a VERY removable device? Chris

/dev/sdc1 /media/camera vfat noauto,user 0 0 obviously your device and mountpoint are diferent but this may get you where you're going All i have to do is plug in the camera, turn it on and click the desktop icon I created for a disk called camera. I haven't tried deleting images off of the camera but it is no problem to copy them to harddisk for editing, etc. hth -- dh
