Certainly, this works for me (TM) and in Thunar usb0 is shown as a file system I can mount or open: /dev/sdc1 /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 It is partition specific so if I had a flash drive with two partitions I would need another stanza to make it work, unless someone has a better idea. > On my Jessie system, I've got USB mounting working with pcmanfm.

I really found that I lost nothing essential on this desktop when I started purging last night. I am not done yet as I expect more will fall by the wayside as I am looking at a character app or two to replace GUI apps I use infrequently. That's not to say that I'll be working without Xorg installed--far from it! It's almost as though I want to avoid as much freedesktop.org/RedHat stuff as possible. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
