    Hello.

    Is there a way to have KDE v3.3.2 automatically mount USB Flash
    drives/sticks (SanDisk Cruzer 256 MB, PNY 512 MB, etc.)? I have to do it
    as root (su) and in command prompt with mount -t vfat /dev/sda1
    /mnt/<mount point>. I was hoping KDE would be like Windows and MacOS X in
    automatically mounting and ready to read and write files.

    Also, how do I make the USB Flash drives/sticks writeable without being
    root? I cannot seem to set this. And does unmounting /mnt/<mount point>
    from command line (doing it via KDE won't work due to limited access --
    not root) take a long time to complete? It seems to take a minute for my
    system. :(

    I am using Debian r3.1 (Kernel v2.6.10-K7) with all latest updates (I
    hope) from apt-get commands.

    I am still new to Linux world. Thank you in advance. :)
