I think, unfortunately, he actually means "I know what I want, and you
should know what I want, and I shouldn't have to explicitly say what
I wants, because everyone has the same background and experiences that
I do, so you all know what I mean without my saying it, right?"
After reading other responses in this massive thread, I come to a few
conclusions:
1) He wants auto-mounting of the inserted media, in the manner of Microsoft
Windows. I don't know how he expects to handle unmounting.
2) Apparently many Linux desktop environments offer this service, although
nobody currently responding to this thread knows how they do this.
It's voodoo.
3) My own previous response, coming from a no-desktop-environment viewpoint,
was premature. Everything I said was correct only in my own subset
of the Debian world, where I use things that I understand and not
voodoo desktop environments that nobody understands.
