22 dbus, hal & ivman are all installed.
23 sys-apps/hal
24 Available versions: 0.4.7-r2 0.4.8 ~0.5.5.1-r3
25 Installed: 0.4.8
26
27 * sys-apps/dbus
28 Available versions: 0.23.4-r1 ~0.50-r1 ~0.50-r2 ~0.60-r3
29 Installed: 0.23.4-r1
30 * sys-apps/ivman
31 Available versions: 0.5_pre2 ~0.5_pre3 ~0.6.4 ~0.6.5 ~0.6.6 ~0.6.8
32 Installed: 0.5_pre2

35 Maybe they are not configured correctly?
36
37 I copied some files from an XP system to the mem stick, a notepad
38 file and word document.
39
40 instert the mem. stick into the usb on the gentoo system and no
41 autodiscover or automounting going on. I still have issue:
42 'mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb'
43
44 Then I can use mtools 'mcopy /path/filename /mnt/usb/'
45 and it works.
46
47 It seems like I missed something. coldplug is installed and
48 added to the boot and the default run levels. Still no
49 'automount' of the usb mem. stick.
50
51 ideas?
