I think it's been part of gnome since 2.8, but not too sure. It uses HAL/D-bus to listen to various HAL events and mount new devices or download pics from the camera,play a CD/DVD,burn a CD, etc... I haven't seen any stuff from KDE doing HAL/D-bus integration. But then again I haven't really kept up with what KDE does these days. Fedora might have some other daemon that does similar thing, maybe with less features. So seems the best thing for me is to stay away from hopping between Gnome and KDE. A sound KISS solution. Donald Greg McGahan What about using automount? ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
