1 Hello,
2
3 Can someone refer me to a source that explains how when I plug in a
4 USB "thumb drive" it appears on my XFCE4 desktop (or any other WM)?
5 Ideally the answer will use words like:
6 daemon
7 hal
8 udev
9 policykit
10 consolekit
11 /etc/init.d/*
12 hotplug
13 gvfs
14 mount
15 automount
16 pmount
17 gnome-volume-manager
18 udisks
19 fstab
20 mtab
21
22 Also, ideally after I know about it I'd like to be able to
23 "understand" and derive on my own the answer to this question: "is it
24 possible for TWM to recognize when I plug in a USB thumbdrive and
25 display it for me to use."
26
27 Thank you!

29 Chris
