For me, with USB Kingston key I see: ...

Have a look at the line "sdc: sdc1 ". Now in your /etc/fstab just add a line: /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto,users,umask=0022 0 0 Of course, you need do "mkdir -p /mnt/usb" if it does not exist. So from now, you can mount with "mount /mnt/usb", even with normal user :) HTH, ---- http://vnoss.org
