I'm looking for something like she'd get on a Mac or PC:
1. a way to automount the USB 'drive' when she plugs in
2. a visual filemanager or some other friendly way for her to see
files and copy them off so she can mail them or whatnot.
3. a way to safely unmount the USB device when she's done
I've got no idea about friendly GUI/filemanager with drag-n-drop or
other easy way to get files off. She's using simple olde FVWM2 now
and I'd prefer not to load up a massive GUI like KDE or Gnome. I just
don't know what's out there, being a command line dinosuar myself.
Any recommendations?
Thunar. I just started using this it's part of XFCE4, but you can
install it separately, I use it with fluxbox. It uses hal-d but it very
light.
My wife (non-techie) and I use Thunar in XFCE4.4. Thunar comes
installed by default with XFCE4.4, I believe. It is plenty fast and
doesn't require all the Gnome and KDE bloat. XFCE4 is also newbie
friendly and fast enough for my purposes.
Cheers,
Jason
Anything that uses HALd will work with automounting drives out of the
box if you set it up properly.
