Default USB-Storage: Automatic fstab Entries?

Hi,

I recall that some Linux distributions have a feature enabled so that
after attaching a USB storage device a corresponding entry in fstab is
automatically created. Does anyone know what tools and settings are
neccesary for this feature (I'm using Slackware 9.1)?

BTW, if possible, I would like the system to distinguish between
devices. In other words, if the device is the USB floppy drive, I want
an entry pointing to the mount point /media/floppy to be created, if
the device is the USB-memory-stick I want a /media/stick entry, etc..
Is this possible?

Felix
