This doesn't look like a partition table

Linux detect USB Drive but on every time must to mount manual:
>su
>password
>mount /dev/sda /mnt/......
and only root access permited to read and write files.

On Ubuntu 5.04 i see this process work automatically. When connect usbstick mount and can be accessed with user acount.
What can I do to make this on my Mandriva?

Check if your kernel supports the automount support if not recompile your kernel. And you need to install automount .
Oh I am sorry its called supermount.

How did you get Mandriva 2006. I am going everywhere to find 2006. And because my club memebership is Aluminum, I do not have the ability to download the ISOs. Please help me out. Thank you.



Al_Khidr,

who I use to download doesn't work now. I seek for ftp mirrors and find this links:
Test I hope to work

and

This is list of mirrors:

If this doesn't work tell me in Bulgaria now make a new mirror.

Super you a wizard!!!
10x for help
In this link have super idea.
This is my fstab file.

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/hda9 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=cp1251,codepage=866,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0

none /mnt/sda supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/sda 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda10 swap swap defaults 0 0


Result:
USB flash drive work and mount automatically when is connected.
Only create icon on my desktop link to /mnt/sda and all easy.
In kernel on Mandriva 2006 supermount is installed and active.

If not active on your kernel look this
>cd /usr/src/linux
>make menuconfig
and in program choose supermount ......
exit of program and run this
>make
after 10-15 min reboot
This must work!
