Hello all.

As a frequently usb disk user, I really want to make things easier and more 
comfortable for me to mount the usb disk whenever I need to use it. After 
doing some stuff, now I can mount it as a general user (not root) and use 
only one instruction like "mount /mnt/usb"; and umount it using 
"umount /mnt/usb".

But I still want more convenient^_^ I wish it can work like Windows, say when 
I plug the usb disk, system autodectect it and mount it and either show an 
icon in system tray or show it on desktop; when I finish the job, I can just 
click the icon and select "remove safely" and the disk is auto unmounted.
That is all I want. 

I am using FreeBSD5.4 + KDE3.4.2. It seems that linux user can do this 
smoothly, but it has some stuff to do with the linux kernel, right? So i 
can't just use linux's solution.

Any ideas? I appreciate any kind of suggestions. Thanks!
