Maybe they are not configured correctly?
I copied some files from an XP system to the mem stick, a notepad
file and word document.
instert the mem. stick into the usb on the gentoo system and no
autodiscover or automounting going on. I still have issue:
'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb'
Then I can use mtools 'mcopy /path/filename /mnt/usb/'
and it works.
It seems like I missed something. coldplug is installed and
added to the boot and the default run levels. Still no
'automount' of the usb mem. stick.
ideas?
