Removeable media (flashdrives/external hard drives)

Can anyone point me in the right direction on "hotplugging" devices like usb flash drives or external usb hard drives on Slackware? I have been googling it and not finding much out there.

Hi jawsh,

Maybe this can help:

Well I fingered out how to make automount work properly. Basically when you are in say XFCE and you plug a flashdrive in you get a window that pops up with errors saying it can't mount the device. What I did to fix this is go to /etc/group and add my username to the plugdev line. Now when I plug a flashdrive in it automounts with no problems.

OK and thanks for sharing, jawsh.
