That is exactly what we are discussing, why is it not there by default? > 1. Go add the Disk Mounter applet to the gnome-panel Why can't it just work, like in many distros? I get a nautilus window popped up (I can turn the pop up if I want but still a click in places or Computer windo mounts it) with the drive when I plug it. > 2. Add the ntfs drive to /etc/fstab.

It would be an option for internal drives, but why do it for external drives when you don't even know what will be its device name (you would need to play with udev if you want to do that). Can someone else try an external ntfs formatted drive in Ubuntu? -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
