There are some basic configuration options in the "Removable Drives and |
| 2 |
Media" applet in Gnome, but not much else that I can see. But it is |
| 3 |
obviously Gnome Volume Manager that is doing some of the work that results |
| 4 |
in removable media drive icons that show up on my Desktop, as when I boot |
| 5 |
into xfc4, my removable media doesn't even mount, at least automatically. |
