Hi David

Let me check with the chap that wrote them and see what he has now - when I pinged him to ask if it was ok to post them he suggested I wait for a bit as he was improving them a little. I confess I didn't follow it up after that.

    I've seen some scripts internally at Sun that use Nautilus and
    Gnome to allow a user to see the contents of their usb
    sticks. Doesn't use KDE but I'm sure something similar could be
    done if the scripts are adapted.

    I can't see any reason why the scripts shouldn't be shared with
    the list, but let me check. I'll post later this week if I get the
    'ok' to do so.

I'd be thrilled to see these scripts, but as far as I can tell there
was no followup.  Presumably, it takes some effort to implement this
correctly and smoothly for users.  We run Solaris/x86 with srss 3.1
and JDS.

I see that U Delaware has written tools to do:

   Applications > System Tools > mount USB Mass Storage Device
   Applications > System Tools > unmount USB Mass Storage Device

for Sun Rays, described on

   http://www.udel.edu/topics/os/unix/sunray/aboutGnome.html

This isn't completely automatic, but would help.  I wrote to them, but
did not receive a reply.
