Use Mandrake :-)

Seriously, I haven't seen anything to beat Supermount, but I've only seen 
supermount with Mandrake.  There must be a kernel patch floating around 
for it--I've never looked.  And maybe a mount patch, too.

With Supermount I just plug in my CF card and use it.  I can cd to 
/mnt/cflash, list the card, eject the card, put in a new card, and list 
the new card.  No more mounting, unmounting, and worrying about hanging 
the kernel cause I've removed a mounted device.  It's been more reliable 
than automount, for me.
