My external Sandisk Extreme USB 2.0 reader is a little like that. I just leave it disconnected. Load a card and then plug the USB cable into the reader and it works fine. Recent hal and (xfce) Thunar seem a little confused, so now when it automounts the card and pops up a Thunar window, it also pops up windows for /, /var, /tmp, and /usr. Haven't had time to figure out what's going on there, yet. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
