Nice computer with small footprint but totally non upgradeable. To change a hard drive, the factory tech in Japan said I had to sell my computer and buy one with a bigger hard drive. It still worked but I ended up tossing it in the garbage a couple of weeks ago because I had way to much hardware hanging around and no space to set it up, especially the hardware that needed minor repair or was not sensible to use like my HP Colorado portable tape back up which connected to a parallel printer port and only held one gigabyte of data. > Regards, > David Bolt > -- Later, Darrell

You could run autofs so that the USB stick filesystem mounts when you try to access it. And if you wanted it mounted when it was plugged in, I think it may be possible to mount it with a UDEV rule.

No, you have to buy 100 ordinary shares in Novell. <http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:NOVL> Seems that they are on a slight downward slide at the moment. |
