I don't know how the icons are managed, but if Fedora can determine something individual about your drive, it'll use it (such as a volume label on the disk - yours might have one preconfigured). Otherwise, it uses something generic, like "usbdisk". Side note: Methinks it's high time PCs stopped playing analogy games, and called things what they are though. Directories aren't folders, and flash drives don't have "disks" in them. I wish it'd only call something a usbdisk if it were a true description. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
