automount the thumbdrive, if not, then use the page I posted to

Hi Rick-
After much searching and reading, I've got the auto-mount working.
I had gnome-volume-manager installed but not running; it wouldn't start. Turns out my hald and dbus RPMs were from SoS, and some users (not all) have problems with them. I removed all hal RPMs and dbus RPMs and replaced them with official MDV RPMs, rebooted, now gvm is running and the Sandisk auto-magically shows up in devices.

rpm -qa | grep hal
rpm -qa | grep dbus

these commands gave all the packages and indicated which were SoS, and which were mdv.

rpm -e --nodeps hal-whatever.SoS
urpmi hal

I had used some of the SoS RPMs a while ago, had trouble back then with them, and removed SoS from my sources. Guess I've still got a couple stragglers lurking.
Thanks for all your help and input.
