I use Gnome and as you probably know this issue has been solved in the last year or so. But before that, or when this automounting thing was flaky in Gnome, I was in a similar situation as you. I found udev to be the solution. I wrote up a few rules which would make a device depending on what I inserted, so I had a device for Sandisk card reader and a couple of USB sticks. Once I knew the nature of device (its specs as reported by udev), I was able to fix it's device name. Maybe you should look into this if you haven't already. I am sure searching Debian lists will turn up quite a few posts about this. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
