I'm running on gnome-2.10 and running gnome-volume-manager and dbus and hal as well as gamin and it all works. No need to fuss around with/etc/fstab anymore. Gamin is the new famd for gnome and it's better too, uses the new /dev/inotify backend instead. This is part of Project Utopia or Project Gentopia which is being tracked by Cardoe.

All this works OK, just may be it doesn't show 'new' devices on KDE-desktop (also had problems with floppies, don't have now), but works with CD/CD-RW/DVD/DVD-RW, USB (my experience). HTH.

Re: [gentoo-user] Mac-like automounting?
It was a typo from my side - the package's name is hal, while the service you start is named hald. ie, emerge hal -av Good luck :-) måndagen den 6 juni 2005 09.24 skrev Michael W.

I want to know if its possible under linux to have mac-like automounting, e.g. that when i insert a CDROM/usb stick/a removable device it will automatically pop-up on the desktop as an icon which i can then access. The closest i got to this is the 'supermount' patch which allows me to access CDROM/Floppy devices without (un)mounting, but doesnt work for USB devices. If it is possible can anyone tell me how to do it under gentoo (some links would be fine as well, thx) P.S please CC me, i am having trouble with the list Hi Ognjen, I hear that ivman works well for this: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ivman There is another similar packages called gnome-volume-manager: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=217412 Zac __ Yahoo!
