i seem to have this all setup and when i connect my portable audio
player or digital camera i see usbdisk mounted and the icon appearing on
my desktop. but i'd like my audio player to get mounted as lyra and
camera as sony_camera, rather then any of them as usbdisk. i also would
like to force them to be mounted using vfat filesystem and not msdos.

i thought i could do that with .fdi files, but i wonder - is that so,
and if yes where should i send files i'll write so they get to the
distribution?

cheers,
artm
