Why do people want to automount these sticks ? I goto the root console which is always open on one of my desktops & enter 'musb', which is a Bash alias for a 'mount' command; when I've finished, I enter 'uusb' & wait for the prompt to come back, which shows the stick has been successfully dismounted; I can check its status via 'df' whenever I want. I rarely want to use > 1 stick at the same time, but it wb easy to create several aliases for different dev-mnt pairs. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
