automatically mount the reader at system boot, thus I need to do so
either by the command line or using the Gnome desktop right mouse button
"Disks" submenu. This approach makes more sense with removable media.
You need to create the mount point in /mnt of course, which is done as
'root'. Basically in a terminal window as root: mkdir /mnt/flash
Once you mount it (by whatever approach you prefer), there should be an
icon that appears on the desktop that you can click on and access the
flash card. Alternatively, you can just open a Nautilus window and
browse to /mnt/flash (in my case).
Part of the fine tuning may depend upon how many USB slots you have and
which one you have the card reader connected to. That would likely
effect the choice of the '/dev/sdb1' or a different setting in fstab or
in your command line mount command.
You might to use Google to search for your particular card reader model
to see if others have posted any experience with using it under Linux.
That might offer some particular hints and gotchas. Also, checking the
manufacturer's site might help, as I have found some with FAQs for using
their device under Linux.
HTH,
Marc
