I've already switched to the new naming method. I'm not real big on it but its been that way for a while so not likely to change again anytime soon. That said, they will likely announce a change in a month or so just to rub my nerve the wrong way. ROFL At least it isn't as big a deal as hal was. ;-) My biggest problem, I wasn't sure where to start looking. For some reason searching dmesg just escaped me. Now if I can figure out how to reset the list of /dev/sd* names that are lurking about and inconsistent, that would be like striking gold. Every time I hook up my external drive, it gets a different sd* name. It does the same on the SD cards from my trail cameras too but I can auto mount those. I'd also like for kwin to stop resetting every once in a while. I toggled the compositor(sp?) setting and that seems to have helped, so far anyway. Dale :-) :-)
