Hi

I am looking fow a way, how to automount USB disks (or CD) by normal
user. I find many ways (udev, hal, policykit, udisks, autofs), but I am
just ordinary user, so I don´t know which one is deprecated (hal?),
which one is easy to use, and so one. Can you pass me some
not-deprecated web page with manual, hoto realize this?

I would like to use something, which automatically mount PEN drives
(ext3,ntfs,fat,...) or CD, and which allow me to unmount it with simple
command without superuser permission. (I have root acess, but It's
annoying to use it every time)

The best would be to mount it into /media/LABEL.

Thanx a lot.

Well hal is gone.  Please let it rest in peace.  lol  The answer may 
have a lot to do with what GUI you use.  Do you use KDE, Gnome, Fluxbox 
or something else?  Once that is known, then help will come along.

You don't say which DE you use, most implement this themselves.

pmount/pumount are good for mounting and unmounting drives as a normal
user. This is often the program used by automounters anyway. If defaults
to mounting at /media/label.

Do you steal taglines too?

Hi,
I am using awesome WM, /usr/bin/startx. I am using some GTK apps, and
some Qt apps.

You might have a look at sys-apps/uam .
You have to edit /etc/udev/uam.conf
carefully to let a non-root user write to the
device (e.g. memory stick)
