Automount devices on diskless workstations

[Trond Mæhlum <trond@maehlum.net>]

We are planning to set up a few classrooms with diskless workstations 
Debian-Edu 2.0.

We have everything mostly set up now. We duplicating the desktop the 
students see on our thinclients, that is IceWM with Nautilus. We have 
some additions, videoplayer, audioplayer, Celestia and other 
applications too heavy for thinclients.

However, when we insert a data-cdrom or usb-pen it does not get 
automounted. The usb-pen gets mounted at /media/usb, but not on the 
users desktop. This isn't very elegant.

Data-cd's don't get mounted at all. I can mount it manually, but that 
isn't very elegant either.

I know that Debian Sarge isn't very good at this at default. Can this be 
fixed somehow?

Audiocd's and dvd's play just fine. We use Kaffeine for that.

Best regards
