Re: [ilugd] usb mounting
hello friends, I got the answer of my question of automounting of pendrive its not real automounting but its is working till i get the real one.What i did is i add a line in fstab file /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendriveauto defaults,users,noauto 0 0 now when i attached my pendrive to usb i have to right click on desktop then Disks-pendrive in case of RH restart is needed. apart from this a new topic has been started on this i support the arguments of lingam which says that if we type it in conventional english then google can easily search the words and one more person argument which says if you really want to support your native language then use that language script(lipi in hindi) anyways thanks ankit walia On 3/6/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Raj Shekhar wrote: I get a lot of emails everyday (150-200 would be a close figure).

Well, that sounds like a personal decision to me. If you are willing to miss out on email just because it is in Hindi, c'est la vie, if you will pardon my French. The intention is to help the poster but if the seeker of help makes it difficult for some one who can help then that some one would rather help others who are defining their needs in clearly and easily understood terms.

The orignal poster can take the lead and start sending out his mails in 15 languages :D am not sure that the original poster meant what you describe. Maybe he meant if you are writing in a native language write using the original langauge script and the fonts available in that language If one were to read letters written in other languages (not romanized versions) then one often sees similar use of nativized english (other language words). To some extent this is visble even in regional language newspapers. Just because we can't read / write / speak other languages does mean we lump all of them together and stick to one langauge beyond which we think its the end of the world.
