KDE and media kioslave support ============================== The media kioslave, new in KDE 3.4, supports the automatic mounting of removable devices, such as CD-ROM and DVD drives, USB pen drives, digital cameras, and many other types of equipment. While some functionality is available without the use of HAL, media works best with HAL (and therefore udev), in combination with pmount. Media also extends the functionality of many other kioslaves. Check which packages are recommended by the tdebase-kio-plugins package, and install accordingly. Note that for regular users to use media in conjunction with HAL, they must be members of the plugdev group. (permanently, not through /etc/security/group.conf).
