Have a look at usbguid2sd at http://greenfly.org/scripts.html And the accompanying text at http://greenfly.org/tips/usb_drive.html It doesn't do exactly what you need, but helps figure out where in your infrastructure to hook into and hack those extra bits tying things to floppyd. > Trying Ubuntu linux recently, it `just worked' for the first time popping > up right away on the desktop. That was probably using a 2.6 kernel, right? There's been clever moves regarding recognizing and mounting devices lately - related to pmount, hotplug and hinting of what drives are removable in recent kernels. (haven't checked, but it may actually be "just working" now on my lessdisks setup, but I doubt same approach will be possible with LTSP). - Jonas - -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er n�r: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFBtwUDn7DbMsAkQLgRAgW+AKCih9h7rNCgJmtLdAoRGvjl9nd+2QCfREeu 6cZcvJRqV/2jsT8VkTUTCnc= =HyDX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
