Hi all,
I'm trying to setup a system which will automount floppies if they are
in the drive.

I'm looking for the same behavior which cd-roms have.  IE whenever the
media is inserted in the drive, konqueror pops up on the drive.

I have the automounter running and I have entries for floppies in the 
/etc/autofs.* files  but I'm not getting the same results.

Obviously I'm missing something. :-)  (No cheap shots please :-) )

I have managed to turn off the this feature for my cdrom and
I'm wondering where the control for it is?

I'm running KDE.

Does anyone have a clue to offer me about this?

Here are my files:

/etc/autofs.cdrom
################################################
cdrom    -fstype=iso9660,ro   :/dev/cdrom
################################################

/etc/auto.floppy
################################################
floppy   -user,suid,fstype=msdos :/dev/fd0
################################################

/etc/auto.master
################################################

/mnt/cdrom /etc/auto.cdrom --timeout 10
/mnt/floppy /etc/auto.floppy --timeout 1

################################################



/etc/auto.misc
################################################

cd		-fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev	:/dev/cdrom
floppy		-fstype=auto		:/dev/fd0
