Good tip.

I'll go look at that after this email. There is also a page at
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/ but it is a bit sketchy.

OK.

I get no icon on my KDE desktop. When I insert the drive, a refresh of
the desktop occurs (brief redraw twitch) but no new icons show up.
noauto for the items is, I think, the point here. I don't create these
fstab entries hotplug and/or udev does.
Perhaps I need to configure some icons somewhere...

The camera can see the files on the CF card. The USB drive had files
yesterday at work. They were both vfat last time they sucessfully
mounted on Win2k (at work) and in FC2 on this same computer.
Checking the logs now...
After inserting the thumb drive, dmesg shows:
ohci_hcd 0000:00:02.1: wakeup
usb 3-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 22

Which all looks good. Doing manual mount... OK, a bit of egg on my face.
'mount /media/SIMPTECH' mounts the device file system.
So maybe the final issues here are to get 'auto' in fstab (however that is
accomplished) and get some auto icons on the KDE desktop (however that is
accomplished).
