Configuring Fedora Core 4 & USB Flash drives?



I was in a maze of twisty passages, so "help!".

Fedora Core 4. Plug in a USB thumb drive.
Successfully recognized by the
kernel & a SCSI "drive" is created. But it doesn't
get mounted put on the
desktop. CDROMs/DVDs do. I have the
desktop->preferences->removable
drives->{mount drives when hot-plugged, media when
inserted clicked. A
manual mount does work; the device then appears on the
desktop as expected.

So something in the hotplug chain is deciding not to
do the mount. I got
lost in the hal/hotplug/automount scripts. Someone's
been here before.
What's the easiest way to track this down? (Or the
recipe for configuring
this device?)

Details below.

Thanks in advance.
