I don't know what exactly you mean with 'detect user-mountable media', but a KDE user may have desktop icons for every device/fs listed in /etc/fstab. I assume GNOME works in a similar way. And clicking on the icon of course will mount the media with the 'mount' command. KDE also monitor changes to the fstab file and can open a dialog window when a new media appears, but since the fstab file is not automatically updated on FreeBSD (I don't know how it works exactly on Linux) this feature is quite useless. -- Alex Dupre _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
