Just like KDE 3.5 Neither GNOME nor KDE can do what the OP asked for. They can automount the device, but they won't sync with a directory and then unmount it. You need a udev script for this, which also has the advantage of being desktop-independent - it doesn't even need a desktop. -- Neil Bothwick Brain fried -- core dumped. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I know this isn't exactly a gentoo question, but my PC is running gentoo linux so I thought that I would try to ask here. Thanks for any suggestion that you might have.
