LOL

Just before the script is says "... the following is not needed anymore, 
just install pmount, hal and gnome-volume-manager ..."

I have these on my system:

bob@t40:/etc/udev/rules.d$ sudo dpkg -l pmount hal gnome-volume-manager
ii  pmount         0.7.1-1        mount removable devices as normal user
ii  hal            0.4.7-3        Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii  gnome-volume-m 1.2.0-1        GNOME daemon to auto-mount and manage

but the automount does not happen.

Should I try fixing this (preferred) or use the script ?

Again many thanks,
Bob
