You can select automount form start only if yous elect expert install. But 
it is not worth it. Too many troubles. I installed and, aftera  week, I 
unistalled.

Now, I have a couple of wonderful icons on my desktop and I'm happy with it: 
rignth click -> mount / right click -> eject

For what it means, Mandrake is working on an errata kernel with this issue 
solved.


Salut,
Sinner
