That is not my experience.  Simply installing x11/gnome2 gives me a
functional desktop, and AFAIR Gnome automounts CDs and memory sticks.
The only trouble I've had was hald and moused arguing over who gets to

We have a number of people working very hard (too hard, in some cases)
to ensure that this does not happen again and that 8.4 and 9.2 ship with
a full set of packages.  It wouldn't hurt to show some gratitude.
