That entirely depends on what do you exactly mean. I have some problem understanding you.

KDE and Gnome have some kind of autorun feature, in the sense that they are able to detect when a disk is open, and will offer a menu with some options, similar to this of WinXP offering you some options on what to do with the disk.

If you mean to launch a program when inserting the disk, I am not aware of any linux way to do this. There are a number of problems to achieve this, the program would need to be portable enough or be wrapped into some kind of scripting mechanism that's architecture-agnostic, since Linux works in a number of architectures. It would need to be compiled statically as well.

Anyway, try to define a bit better what do you mean so we can try to give a more concrete answer to your question.

Thanks for u r reply

My need is when i put cd in winxp it automatically open run some flash player program or any swf format program contains that cd . so in the same way i need in linux. if it is possible to make this. please advise me.

thank u

I guess that KDE and Gnome already do that for many file types, at least to some degree, don't they? It should pop up a Window letting you choose between many actions, just like in WinXP, however I doubt that swf is between the default file types, you will have to find a way to configure/add it, and I don't even know if there's a working swf player in Linux (I'd look at gnash).

Nowadays, this is highly dependent on the desktop you use, there's no system-wide daemon or something like that to do it.
