Last State I know is: Compile own Kernel with some more usb-modules
available. Don't forget supermount.o and it can theoretically work. You
need some scripts, so that the newly plugged device is supermounted to
/mnt/usbsomething. (Be aware, that ntfs can't be mounted with supermounts
"auto"-option for filesystem. this will fail! other Filesystems work
well. Also nice to know: some of my students have memoryticks which are
not correctly detected. So, if you try, try with a working one ;-)
