RE: Digital Camera / Thumb Drive

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.
