ok, I inserted a brand new USB stick ( a nice new 4GB..)
looked in syslog and it looks like this:
Aug 16 08:39:12 paulandcilla kernel: [50428.685327]  sdg: sdg1
Aug 16 08:39:12 paulandcilla kernel: [50428.719914] sd 10:0:0:0: [sdg] 
Attached SCSI removable disk
Aug 16 08:39:12 paulandcilla kernel: [50428.719914] sd 10:0:0:0: Attached scsi 
generic sg7 type 0

but it didn't automount. what do I need to do to make it automount?

I have 2 or 3 different USB sticks that I would like to automount, how do I 
find out or determine their UUID??


in the process of looking at what i do have mounted, I noticed a bunch of 
chroot stuff..

paulandcilla:/var/log# mount 
(skip the normal mounted stuff)

devpts-live on /home/live/chroot/dev/pts type devpts (rw)
proc-live on /home/live/chroot/proc type proc (rw)
sysfs-live on /home/live/chroot/sys type sysfs (rw)
-------------------
I was attempting to make a Debian ISO using someones web HOW-TO, but that was 
last week.. what have I done to my system, and how do I get rid of those 
mounted things??
