Hi Quentin,

> I am struggling to get a simple vfat usb-flash stick going on 64.

Are you running version 0.9.4 ? When I plug in a USB stick, it mounts 
automatically and I see Nautilus open a window with the contents of the 
stick. In /var/log/messages I see:

In /etc/mtab I see:

rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8 
0 0

'Disgo' is just the brand name of the memory stick.

Cheers!
