Hi All

I haven't seen IVMAN in action. But I do have to say this

MOUNTING IS THE MOST DIFFICULD THING FOR WDOZE USERS TO GRASP (imho).

The reason why I like Rox is that if you chuck the media directory on 
the desktop users can easily work out !hey I click on floppy and it does 
something. I click to exit and It asks me to Unmount...... hopefully the 
user could work out the idea from there.....though they may need tuition.

If ivman Automounts when a media is inserted then I think that it should 
only be included if it can be unmounted via a file browser over one 
click or unmounted if eject is pressed. (don't know about USB's).

XFE is not that good a file browser it locked on me just then as I 
mounted my first CD with it. Rox you can mount and Unmount a cd without 
right clicking. I know it's anil and endeavour2 or xfe could be a backup 
option. But Rox works and is very funky.

Im downloading xffm right now. But I hope it can handle mounting drives 
well. If it can't I strongly suggest that it not be included.

Colin
