Letting Ordinary Users Write To Disk Key

did you change the definition of the <flash> device class listing line
in consoles.perms to include the /dev/sda* ?
something like
<flash>=/mnt/flash* /dev/flash* /dev/sda*

though i would have thought the <diskonkey> entry would make more
sense..doesnt really matter.

The one lingering problem i have with usb devices is that they are given
/dev/ listing on a first come first server basis. So that if you have 2
or more usb storage devices like a flash reader and a keydrive, and you
connect them in different orders...it can affect how fstab mount lines
work and confuse things. I guess the best possible solution is to make
sure kudzu is aware of these devices and can autocorrect the fstab
entries as needed.
