Thanks for the help.
I am having problems installing the package thunar-volman. This is a package management problem, at which I am no expert! The package is not available on etch, but is on the list of packages for sid: http://packages.debian.org/sid/thunar-volman However, when I issue # aptitude show -t sid thunar-volman I get E: Unable to locate package thunar-volman # aptitude install -t sid thunar-volman I get Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database... Done Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "thunar-volman" The following packages have been kept back: linux-image-2.6-686 openssh-client openssh-server 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
