I just put an entry in fstab with the mount point and options I wanted, and allowed "user" to mount. Then I can open up KdiskFree and right click to mount/unmount.
Yeah, this works great. Do you happen to know what is going on with udev so that usb automounts are not working well? Do you know if someone is working on a cure..?
Thanks
Have seen some chatter on this list that auto mounting was backed out of the kernel for some reason or other, and left to the distro or desktop providers.
Don't know If I got the details right.
John, sorry for the reply to all...call me paranoid perhaps, but... I replied to the list early this morning to whit: ------------------------ I can't confirm your statement, but I can confirm the result of it! I have wasted tons of hours and the price of the boxed set on 10.1 and am backing out to 9.3 today! Automount will NOT work in twm or fvwm2 by any method I've tried. It works SOMETIMES in kde by clicking on the removable device in "my computer" and then finding it in /media/. It is sad when a reliable old friend turns into a drunken bum! NOVELL should immediately recall 10.1 and pull it from the store shelves. I can only imagine the damage this release is doing to the linux community. I might have to remove the SuSE Penguin Pin from my cowboy hat! Tom (every boxed set since 6.2...yep, I'm on a modem!) --------------------------- I later sent a "test reply" to the list. The test made it on the list, the above topic did not. It would appear that among all the other faults Novell has wrought, they are also filtering the list for the word RECALL... Whatever, Tom ex-10.1 user
