I'm looking at putting FC4 on selected desktops here and I'm investigating how it handles USB sticks and the like. (Most of the machines are running FC3 and everyone uses KDE.) So I logged in as a test user and inserted a USB stick. I was pleased to see the window appear asking what should be done with it. So I opened it in a window, looked around and closed the window. Now what? The device is mounted; unplugging it would be bad. There's no desktop icon indicating that it's mounted (and none indicating an unmounted device either). Yes, desktop behavior is set to display mounted and unmounted removable media. If you look in the file manager and click on the right combination of tabs, the USB device shows up as a hard disk named sda1 and can be unmounted from there. Unfortunately my users will never comprehend that. My guess is that this has something to do with the missing HAL support in KDE. Is there any way to improve things? Should I look to KDE-Redhat's packages? - J<
