I installed Mandrake 10 the other day - I had FC1 on before that but MDK's been much better to me so far, I'm glad I switched :)

I would never entrust my USB drive to an automounter, having once already made the mistake of simply pulling it out without unmounting.

BETTER WAY:

su
mkdir /mnt/usb (or /media/usb, depending on the distro)
Add this to /etc/fstab:
Code:
/dev/sda1	 /mnt/usb	  vfat	      noauto,user     0   0

And you're basically done. If KDE isn't set up to autodisplay devices, right click on the desktop, "Create New" > "Device" > "Floppy Device". Name it "USB drive or whatever", click on the device tab and pick the "/dev/sda1" entry. Now you can mount, read, and unmount easily.
