Thanks, Tony. I'm now running 2.6.12-1-686. pmount now works for my 
CompactFlash card (Serge wrote: "To be able to use pmount as user you need to 
add it to the 'plugdev' group in /etc/group..": Done that, thanks). Getting 
there slowly. I still can't mount or even find my SecureDigital cards.

After pmounting, the device shows up on the desktop and in the KDE devices 
applet and opens in Konqueror on click.

Question: how can I umount (easily)? pmount doesn't have a umounting option 
and the standard umount requires root. Right-clicking in KDE gives WTTE "only 
root can umount".
