Thanks Matt, but there is not even any mention of USB Mass Storage in my fstab file. I've tried adding lines, but either I'm not getting it "right" or it is not overriding the automount sequence. My FSTAB reads:
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 Thanks, Scott.
