Can a USB Device link appear on Desktop when mounted?

[Phill Whiteside]

Sorry, I did not fully read...

1. Plug in USB device
2. Allow PCManFM to mount it.
3. The device will appear on the PCManFM listing on the panel to the left.

the USB will be mounted at..

/media

under the user name.

e.g. I'm phillw, and my USB (DANE-ELEC) device can be found via:

cd /media

followed by

phillw at piglet:/media$ ls

which will give the listing as per below (it will be your user name)

cdrom  phillw

You can then cd into your user name area...

phillw at piglet:/media/phillw$ ls -l
total 20
drwx------ 14 phillw phillw 20480 Jan  1  1970 DANE-ELEC

at which point you will see the name of your USB (DANE-ELEC) in my case.

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Phill.
