Dear folks,

I am trying out several things and reading and I have found several sites:

http://gezeiten.org/post/2011/01/Xfce-4.8-on-BSD-flavors

http://www.unix.com/unix-dummies-questions-answers/117249-using-usb-sticks-=
freebsd.html

http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=3D19410

Have not found any relevant information.  Installed automounter from
ports in sysutils/automount but still does not work.  dbus and hald
are enabled and installed.  I just like the convenience of using
automounting.  If it is not going to be working, then I am fine with
it.

Thanks,

Antonio
