Well I managed to find a workaround to my problems of usb memory keys no longer appearing in the Gnome computer folder after updating to the latest kernel and initscripts. If I manually edit /etc/fstab and add... /dev/sdd1 /mnt/lexar vfat noauto,rw,user 0 0 ...which is the scsi device the memory key is assigned when I insert it, I find that there is a lexar icon in the Computer folder after I log in and out again. I can select this icon and use the Mount Volume menu item to mount it. I would be curious to know if anyone has managed to keep FC2 working with usb keys after upgrading to the latest kernel. Jack
