Under Gnome, it's controlled by magicdev, KDE uses autorun. Assuming you're using Gnome, run Preferences->CD Properties to adjust the settings for magicdev.
And as a followup (related question):
I have a Thinkpad notebook with USB floppy drive. The floppy makes nice noises scanning the diskette when one is inserted, so there is some event recognition there. However, I must manually issue a "mount /mnt/floppy" command to use it.
After I manually mount the floppy, a nice icon appears on the desktop. After I unmount it, the icon disappears. How can I:
A) Have a floppy automounted when inserted, like a CD?
B) Have the icon stay permanently, and automount the diskette when clicked?
C) Have the floppy automounted when someone does (for example) "ls -l /mnt/floppy"?
Any of the above would work really. All I want to do is make things easier for my ex-Windows users, who frankly find the need for "mount /mnt/floppy" baffling and onerous. I've also created a symbolic link /floppy pointing to /mnt/floppy so they can find it more easily.
Thanks for any help!
