At least in default debian and ubuntu systems they don't have such write access. ubuntu uses the usb-creator package to provide a dbus api that allows normal users to create usb installation media. (It carefully checks that you can not write to the internal hard disk). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
