Hi Chris;

I think that the automount function still needs some work, but the 
autodetection function works properly.  You should be able to plug in a USB 
drive and in a few seconds the /etc/fstab file will be re-written to know 
that that drive exists.  You can then issue a mount command to make the 
drive accessible.  The other thing you can try is to start the X-window 
system (startx) and then when you plug a drive in an icon will appear on 
the screen.  When you click on that icon the drive will be mounted.

If the /etc/fstab file isn't rewritten, then I probably forgot to build the 
right driver for your USB device.  Let me know what kind of drive you have 
and I'll look at the config to see what I need to do.
