The word "pine" exist in Danish too. Used as noun its "pain" and used as
verb its "torture".

So the ad wouldn't be much better here, maybe even worse.

I have more and more ben tinkering with the
idea of using supermount for the mounting part,
and have something else to update fstab and
crate mountpoints based on the "gizmos" volume
label or maybe the what type of "gizmo" it is.
But i cant even find the time for other things...

The nice thing with supermount is that it is
very easy to configure, just a line in fstab,
and that it is a pseudo filesystem and does not
need any umounting, just plugin/out the gizmo in
question. The problem is just that it uses static
mountpoints and that it is not very well maintained
and needs a kernel compilation with new versions
for every new kernel version. Had been much simpler
if it allredy was in a vanilla kernel.

This at least shouldn't be a problem, since first thing I install after a
fresh Slackware install is a recent kernel tuned to hardware.

I'll check this out as soon as I have some time.

Have you got PySol running, Thomas? I got the latest (final) version to
run on Slackware 9.1, but not 10.1, because it doesn't run with the
version of python that 10.1 installs. Not being python-proficient yet, I
didn't delve into what was available of the code to see if I could fix it.

I have PySol running on Slackware 10.2 with Freerock Gnome installed.

The PySol Package was from here:

http://www.spykes.net/packages/pysol-4.82-i486-1spi.tgz

(mentioned in another thread)

There was a dependency on smpeg which I got from here:

http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=7638

There was a package of smpeg for 10.1 as well. The 10.2 package was built
on an install with the freerock libs. I don't know about how the 10.1
package was built. I'm running python version 2.4.1
