Hello: I'm struggling with the topic of how to ease the use of removeable media for non-root users, and I would like some advice. I'm an old-time FreeBSD user (luser? maybe.) coming from a stint of using RedHat Linux 6.x. If you've never seen the Gnome environment in RH6.x, it's got these nice icons for the various types of removeable media on the desktop and clicking on them automagically mounts the media in a pre-defined spot. I would like to replicate as closely as possible this behaviour. I don't even know where to start. With FreeBSD, I'm using KDE, primarily because the out-of-box Gnome with Enlightenment setup is too busy, and I don't know how to un-busy it. Has anyone tackled making removeable media easier to use for non-root users? If so, I would greatly appreciate some information on how to do it. I would prefer a solution that integrates into the KDE GUI. One thought: Is it possible to use amd to automatically mount filesystems on removeable media? Thanks in advance for your help! -- PETER SCHWENK | UNIX System Administrator Department of Mathematical Sciences | University of Delaware schwenk@math.udel.edu | (302)831-0437 <-NEW!!!
