Why does this happens on every redhat/fedora box? I've been using redhat
distros for so long I cannot say anything about mandrake or suse, but
seems they are long way ahead on this: an average user can mount a
camera, record cds, whatever. And we still need to change this manually
on EVERY installation.

This seems plain stupid to me. Make things difficult.
