I take it you mean System -> Configuration -> KDE -> LookNFeel -> Behavior I was trying this out (I'm having usb problems too), and noticed the option to show icons for unmounted drives. Decided to check it out (when the icons only appear on mount, they seem to appear in "random" screen locations, not lined up with the other icons, which is kinda ugly; call me neurotic, but I like to keep my desktop neat). So then I got curious what happens when I double click an icon for an umounted drive. Guess what? It mounts it, even if there's nothing in it (I tried it with my cdrom drive empty). So then I unmounted, and it hung my system solid - mouse, keyboard, everything frozen! Had to hit the reset button. After it rebooted, it had shifted my display an inch to the right and a half inch up (had to use the menu built into my monitor to reposition), and randomly repositioned all my desktop icons. Nasty! BTW, I'm on 10.0 CE download, with no updates (cuz in 6 weeks, I haven't gotten MU or urpmi to work once; always dies on a curl error). Is there a Mandrake equivalent to Ctrl-Alt-Del, which on Windoze 2K usually at least allows me to gain enough control to do a clean shutdown (I'm not a Windoze fan, my employer makes me use it, I just like to have that particular feature available). -- Ron Hunter-Duvar ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net
