Set up udev rules to give them their own names in /dev, these names are also used as the mount point under /media. It is the actual name that is used, not any symlinks, so set up your rules accordingly. See http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php for details on writing custom udev rules. -- Neil Bothwick Bother, said Pooh, as the Death Star exploded around him. pgpjx2WiJLQJN.pgp Description: PGP signature

Perhaps it's the same maintainer that puts swat on /usr/share/doc (swat, is a configuration tool for samba...) Honestly, I have no idea. It's like KDE dropping its config files on /usr/kde/3.4/ instead of /etc/kde3. And I guess thousand of more examples. -- Norberto Bensa 4544-9692 / 15-4190-6344 Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina pgpNjNWCdB1vU.pgp Description: PGP signature
[gentoo-user] mount point with hal and kde
Hello, I have various computers running KDE and hald and I also have various USB mass storages, some of the HDs and some of them memories. When I plug them I get an icon on the desktop and the first one to be plugged gets monted on /media/usbdisk, the second on /media/usbdisk1, the third on /media/usbdisk2 and so on. I'd like a couple of this devices to be mounted at a specific place, like /media/backup and /media/home. Is it possible ? Thanks. -- Pupeno [EMAIL PROTECTED] (http://pupeno.com) Reading ?
