[GLLUG] compact flash reader

[Dylan M.]

well, i guess thats all it took.  i think i scared it into working.  
just like your refrigerator fixing itself as soon as the repair man 
shows up.  after sending the post, i realized my /etc/fstab entry should 
have been:

/dev/sda1        /mnt/flash      vfat      noauto,users   0   0

sorry about the spam :)
