I followed the steps, and my camera is now automounting (YEAH!!!)
However, I still have 2 questions. One, how do I get the icon to show up on my screen, I thought I followed all of the steps, but it still doesn't create the icon. Can anyone give me advice on how to get the icon created?
Second, what if I want to have my camera automount, but also have my thumb drive automount to /mnt/usbdrv? If I understand it correctly, I should look at /var/log/message when I plug in my flash drive and find the vendor. Then I need to put that vendor in the /etc/updfstab.conf.default such as this
device usbdrv {
partition 1
match hd [vendor name]
}
Here is where I think the problem would occur. If I understand correctly, it will now run the /etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage script. But this script is already created for the camera, so won't it try to mount it to /mnt/camera instead of /mnt/usbdrv?
I am a newbie so if I am completely misunderstanding this, please let me know. In summary, here are my two questions:
1)How do I get the icon to appear on the desktop?
2)How do I setup both a camera and a usbdrive?
Thanks!

Take a look at the archives for "olympus" - one nice guy made it easy -
just plug the camera, and the icon pop on your screen. Easier, only if
the camera got mounted with a camera icon and with read and write
access.
