As far as I know, hotplug is no longer used. It's all hal/udev now. And no, you don't have to disable anything for this to work - it is just not optimal to use fstab, because /dev is no longer static but volatile. Thus there is no guarantee that, say, /dev/sda1 will be the right device - if you plug your USB devices in a diffferent order, they might swap places, so for example USB-one might become /dev/sda2 if plugged in after USB-two , which would already have the /dev/sda1 slot. Are you confused yet ? ;-) _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
