hello list,
i'm old-fashioned and i never cared for this automount thing, but now i
have two pen drives and two usb hard disks that i have to mount and umount
all the time, and doing it by hand every time is beginning to be very
annoying...
i see that distributions like ubuntu and others have this feature by
default: you plug in a pen drive and it creates a mount point under /media
and mounts the device there. but i have no idea to get something like that
working on my gentoo machine. i searched the web, but the documents i
found on the subject are somewhat contradictory and all of them too old
for comfort.
any hints about a standard "gentoo way" to achieve this?
by the way, i use xfce, so i can't use tools specific for kde or gnome, if
they exist.
best,
lj
I know what xfce is but not have no experience with it. Would this help?

That last one should put you on the right path for sure.
Hope the helps.
