Ahhh! I may have neglected to say that they need to be run as root, as it's loading kernel modules...
I'm *assuming* that Mandrake has modprobe, it's part of the usual base system, so it should have.
Ah. I missed that vital step. OK. Done that and now, having the steps you gave me earlier, I now have loads of new icons on the desktop.
I'll have a crack at editing the fstab file now to see if I can get it to do all this automatically on boot up now.
I appreciate both your help and that from Chris Glover.
You'll probably want to add the modules to the /etc/modules file (or that's where I'd add them on a debian system, anyways... *goes look it up for Mandrake...*)
OK - for Mandrake it appears that the file is /etc/modules.conf, and it'll be a line something like: probeall ehci-hcd usb-storage
that you need to add, or expand the probeall line to include them. Then the modules should get automagically loaded on boot.
