Look at /etc/fstab and add "user" to the third field. man fstab for
more details on how this is done and what this file means.
And no, it is not possible to allow a normal user to mount just any
device anywhere, unless you user a program like "sudo". Devices users
are allowed to mount need to be stated explicitly in fstab, and they
may only mount them at the mount points designated there.
Oh, and for basic admin stuff, try getting the LDP's SAG.
