Without this directory no entries are placed in fstab and /media entries will not appear for your devices. Now I don't understand this completely yet but there is more than kudzu involved in making your devices usable. The mysterious hal must be involved. Also I would expect udev is somewhere involved in creating the appropriate /dev files. Thanks Aaron, I tried to turn the HAL daemon on in the services settings but it won't run.I have entries in the /sys as well as /media for the device. There are files for the device in /dev, whether they are appropriate or not is beyond me. George
