KDE can mount any device that the Linux kernel recognizes as mountable by calling the appropriate command to do so. But is not exactly accurate to speak of KDE mounting filesystem (that word has a specific meaning unrelated to KDE). I think you refer to associating a mounted filesystem with a convenient desktop icon? -- Henry House +1 530 753 3361 ext. 13 Please don't send me HTML mail! My mail system usually rejects it.

Jonathan ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech Actually, Debian is the box I'm reffering to above. I do quite a bit of plugging and unplugging a brace of external hard drives and USB flash drives (2 of the USB flash drives for now). I've run into what I think is querky behavior. Plug it in once it behaves as described above. Unplug it and come back later and plug it in again it will not behave as described above. I went around in circles for awhile creating fstab entries when it did not dynamically work but if I needed to reboot the fstab entry was wrong and the dynamic failed. I'm going buggy :-) I sort of like the dynamic route. Is it's failure to dynamically mount a second time something I can fix? -- Donald Greg DiG McGahan University of California Davis One Shields Ave (LAWR) Davis, California 95616 Soil and Biogeochemistry 2149 Plant and Environmental Sciences Building Laboratory Phone 1-530-752-0144 Mobile:530-219-6183 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSN Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo Messenger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] AIM: dgmcgahan ICQ: 55404391 Ped-O-quote The lithosphere is the easel, the pedosphere the canvas, and the biosphere the painting on the canvas.
