My feelings too. I'm not committed to keeping them, but they're in the
book as part of XFCE installation(*), so I thought I'd follow the book
and see if I can live with them. Probably can, all I really need is a
window manager. (I'm trying to make this a NOT TOO idiosyncratic
system.) I've been mounting sticks by hand too, but if I could get udev
to do it and set mode 666, I'm beginning to like that idea.
* I've never used XFCE. I've got Intrepid Ibex on a couple boxes which
is almost never used, and I don't particularly care for how it mounts
everything in sight without making it particularly obvious which
partition is which. I loathe UUIDs! Recently installed Centos-6.6 on
my i7, thinking I'll use it for some virtual systems, but it seems to
do much the same thing.
