Mounting removable drives

[Michael Hirsch]

Hah!  That did it.  I think I know what happened: I have been unable
to install Dapper from CD (screen comes up black) but I had an old
version of Breezy installed, so I just repointed the sources.list and
dist-upgraded.  That appeared to work, but somehow kubuntu-desktop was
not installed, so I missed a lot of new dependencies.

Got it installed and my system recognized flash memory cards now.

Thanks a bunch,

Michael
