(And as I said I have both autofs and pmount installed. ) Once the usb stick is seen the ordinary user CAN mount it with R/W access.. The problem is that it is not seen except it is inserted at boot time.. So it seems like a hotplug/hal problem. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
