These days it's much more common to let the desktop do that step for you. With a properly setup desktop, you can remove all references to cdroms and thumbdrives from fstab (leave only permanent mounts for disks etc in there) and rather use the icon that pops up on your desktop when you insert a usb drive. This works because fstab has no special qualities - it's just a list of standard drives you want to have mounted on your computer. What desktop do you use? I'm betting it's either gnome or kde -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
