auto-mount /dev/xda1 at /somemountpoint on boot

[hal8000]

How do I grep to find /dev/first-drive-shown-on-the-desktop-probably-an-ntfs-volume and auto-mout it rw to /somemountpoint, no matter if it's an ntfs or fatxx filesystem?

All file systems and hard drive partitions can be mounted automatically by knoppix just by clicking on them from the default kde desktop.

The drives will be shown in partition order so first partition will be hda1 or sda1 depending on if your HD is IDE or SATA.

With knoppx 5.1.1 and higher open a terminal and type:

sudo fdisk -l

(this will list all partitions on all hard drives).
