This can get confusing, if do not always use GUIs. If you give udev a rule to symlink the thumbdrive to something like /dev/first and add a line /dev/first /media/first, ivman will always use that mount point. If you have your boot partition on a thumbdrive you will appriciate this behavior. Sebastian -- " Religion ist das Opium des Volkes. " Karl Marx [EMAIL PROTECTED]@N GÜNTHER mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
