If you use KDE, you don't need ivman, emerge kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves and KDE will handle removable devices automatically. This is much improved in 3.5, so upgrade if you're still running KDE 3.4. 3.5 lets you specify default actions for each type of device and whether they are executed automatically (the default is to ask first). -- Neil Bothwick Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes!
