In my experience, because: A) The card reader doesn't send a signal that a card's been inserted (mine doesn't...in fact, it didn't even mount when I popped the cord out and back in...and I set "auto" on from "noauto", just to test). B) Even with CDs, which often automount when the drive drawer closes, you can't "auto-unmount" because once a disc is and mounted, the drive is locked, so that the eject button doesn't even work. I'm fairly sure putting the card in and running the command is the only way to go. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe
