Yes. It's coming up. What isn't coming up is the "The following new 
partitions were detected and can be configured" dialog. Instead, we go 
directly to the "Enable Write support" dialog which I checked. Of 
course, with no mountpoint specified, no mounting gets done.

Real puzzling. I can, of course, reformat to VFAT, but that seems ... 
well...wimpy. We should be able to do this in Feisty.

Many thanks in advance for any help.
