* will it be possible to mount a USB key or drive on a fixed place? (manually or not)
Yes, totally automatically.
that is I have two USB keyx and one big USB drive, I would have them mounted on /media/usb1, /media/usb2 and /media/usbdrive is it possible?
Yes
do you have a link to any doc?
No. Just actual experience, if that'll do instead.
and I tried to read factory archives and failed to find usable things :-( answer to RTFM (if given) is nice
Give the USB drive a volume name and it will be mounted on a mount point based on that name. From tests I've done, and others have confirmed, if there is a volume name, it is used to create the mount point under /media. If there isn't a volume name, the mount points start as /media/usbdisk and gain a number with each new drive without a volume name. E.g. /media/usbdisk /media/usbdisk-1 etc.
How you give each drive a new volume label depends on whether you're wanting to keep the data on the drive intact, and what the file system is. For ext2/ext3, e2label does the job. For VFAT, AFAIK, either you need a Windows system, which will let you keep the contents, or you need to use mkdosfs, which will erase the contents.
As for other file systems, you'll need to read up on what the tools for them do to see what you can do.
