My fstab line looks like this: /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,kudzu,noauto,exec,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0 Where I just plugged in my camera for the first time(mine's a Trust). I then do mount /mnt/removable as the entry in fstab is such that I don't need to specify the device. In your case /mnt/removable2 is obviously an option too. About the double entries I don't really know..maybe cause you plugged it in on various occasions with different device configurations or other USB slots?

Good luck, harM I was able to launch Konq as root from a terminal window and the open 'file:///mnt/camera' but was not able to do this from Konq as a normal user. Nor could I use the shortcut on my desktop (from fstab?) for /mnt/camera. I belong to the USB group. Is there something else to check that would prohibit access to the drive?

Thanks -- Cheers, Trey If you mounted your camera (which prolly should be removable on Mdk) on /mnt/camera, you'd have to do that as root i.e. make the camera/ directory and mount the device there, thus only read/writable as root. The created entry in /etc/fstab (like I said prolly /mnt/removable/) allows you to mount it as normal user and thus read it as that same user. Next time you reboot or connect the camera, supermount will take over and you even won't have to mount the thingI'm realy talking first time here (and before).
