There is. I don't like it myself, but I believe that you can do this using a combination of hal, dbus, and ivman.

What desktop environment are you using?
And when you say automount, do you really want all volumes to be mounted automatically, or just a desktop icon to appear for the media and then it gets mounted when you use it? |

sorry for the confusion I just want an icon somewhere that will mount flash drives when I click on it.
I would perfer not to have it automaticly make icons for all drives, just external one, so not hd??s jus sd??s.
I am using KDE |

KDE has this functionality already built in.
Was kdelibs and kdebase-kioslaves built with hal USE flag enabled? If not it has to be enabled and then check in kcontrol -> Peripherals -> Storage Media for settings.
Edit: Kcontrol -> Desktop -> Behavior -> Device Icons to select the icons that appear.

Can you post the output of these first: | Code: | emerge kdelibs kdebase-kioslaves hal dbus -pv
rc-update -s | grep hal |

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Ok. Do this as root: | Code: | rc-update add hald default
rc-update add dbus default
/etc/init.d/hald start
/etc/init.d/dbus start |
I added the dbus to be safe, it won't hurt if it is already running. Now log out and back in. |
