Hi Seb, You can do this by following these steps:
1°) Install packages: usbmount, hal and pmount 2°) Edit the file /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf and modify these lines like that: FILESYSTEMS="ext2 ext3 vfat" FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="fstype=vfat,gid=floppy,dmask=0007,fmask=0117" 3°) Add your user to the group plugdev: # adduser <your-user> plugdev 4°) To finish remount your fs: mount -a -o remount Or reboot your computer.
