Sorry, I'm still not quite correct. Ubuntu doesn't actually _mount_ USB storage devices until you ask it to - it puts the device icon on the desktop as you say Debian does. However, the point I was failing to make is that the partition's label is used as the mount point if you have one. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
