Pretty much yeah. It's not a difficult process, but I understand if you're hesitant to try it if you haven't done it before. As for getting the source, that's not hard (and one of the great benefits of Debian), "apt-get source packagename" will download the source and extract it in the current directory. (You will need the appropriate deb-src lines in sources.list of course) > Looking at the g-v-m binary suggests that what it does with pmount is just to > take the settings it is provided with.

I could be wrong, but I don't think one exists. Some of the settings are taken from the hal policy for the device in question (for example, if it's a usb stick or not) and the rest, I guess are hard coded in g-v-m. The best work around is probably simply to stick your preferred settings for /dev/myFlash in /etc/fstab and I think those settings will be respected. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22
