Robby, please don't remove pmount from the 12.2 repo. I find it really useful, as a fluxbox user ; all I had to do to use it on my old laptop is populate /etc/pmount.allow with; /etc/sda[123] /etc/sdb[123] /etc/hdc
Is that too much for the average Joe ? A note in the README, e.g.: For now removable devices are not recognized ; please populate /etc/pmount.allow with a list of your removables devices - see man pmount will suffice Thanks, Didier Le Tuesday 16 December 2008 00:13:52 Phillip Warner, vous avez écrit : > pmount does not *fully* work in Slackware 12.2 no matter what version of > pmount you use (as of this date).
