Thanks a lot, Tom. I thought about it but i just gave up on it because I'm running
automount, and i can't have that...
By the way, automount seems to fork a new instance of mount every time it detects a
request to its hooks. It works perfectly, except for when there is no floppy on the
floppy drive, that mount instance gives me trouble and can't be killed, nor can / be
unmounted when rebooting...
Is there a new implementation of autofs? Damn, I'd sure like my computer to work
automatically, without using mtools or such, because I want it to work well with KDE.
