Great! I really had no idea how to influence the automatic mounting.
I am going to have a look at hal and then check your rules against their 
docs. See what happens.
Thanks for the tip.

BTW I already adjusted the fstab, but as you said, that does not help 
the automatic loading that GNOME or KDE or whatever does.

THanks.

Guus.
