I think you should first open a terminal and run mount

You should from there be able to work out if your hard drive('s partition) is  
/dev/sdb1 or something like that, and the flash drive partition something  
like /dev/sdc1.


Next, add the line as said by tomlukeywood, with the /dev/sda part  
corresponding to the output of the mount command. Note that the mount points  
(the folder to which the partition is mounted) has to already exist.


If you want to mount it the way you do on the desktop, which means the mount  
point gets added as soon as you mount and removed as soon as you unmount, you  
should create /etc/xdg/autostart/(what-ever-name-you-want).desktop, which if  
I'm not mistaken should contain:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Anything you like
Exec=udisks --mount /dev/sdb1  udisks --mount /dev/sdc1
Terminal=false
Type=Application
With the /dev/sd** part of the Exec entry corresponding to the output you  
got from the mount command.

Hello fellas, this is ThunderDee from Italy.
Recently I've switched my 2008 MacPro into a one OS system, Trisquel 7!
I love Trisquel, it's so fast and I think I'm gonna install it into another  
computer but I'm not so pratical about using linux systems in general and  
with theme-customisation (i've saw few themes from you and I would like to  
try).
If is okay for you, I'm gonna post here some problems I would like to learn  
how to solve with your help of course.


Bye for now,
T.

Thanks for the answers guys!! Grazie per le risposte!!

I would ask you what I have to write in the terminal to make automount my usb  
memories and my second HD without going to Trisquel menu, just like I had in  
MacOSX.


I find troubles sometimes typing with my apple keyboard inside abrowser like  
the cursor jump backward and sometimes some word buttons doesn't work.
With youtube videos especially when I jump forward the video, seems like  
there is a problem with the flash plugin (even with facebook videos), anyone  
solved in a different way?.


To SuperTramp: I saw your desktop I would ask you where I could find some  
instructions for dummies like me about how to install custom themes in  
trisquel and in general about gnome / xcfe differences.


My Macpro is used by my parents and I want to make trisquel more  
user-friendly than my old OS.


Thanks in advance for any information you are able to provide.
Bye for now,
T.

Thunderdee - Io ho usato gnome flash per vari mesi pero non ho mai  
investigato molto su di esso.. Per quanto riguarda la personalizzazione di  
Xfce posso sì spiegarti come si fa. Pero chiaramente devi avere installato  
l'ambiente desktop Xfce.
Se tale è il caso, sentiti pure libero di mandarmi una mail. Ti farò una  
piccola guida. Ciao!
