Martin, Sorry for taking so long to reply. The default configuration installed by ivman does in fact use pmount-hal in order to automount plugged volumes. Does the current hal have anything like a drop-in replacement? I couldn't find one. A quick look at what gnome and kde were doing didn't find me a easy replacement. Do you have a suggestion that I might be overlooking? Thanks, stew
