Hi people (and others)
I am not aware that cats are members of this list :)
If cats had their way, they would be overlords. And yes, they have infiltrated the organization.

And they, I take it, have delegated the food bowl and excrement pan maintenance to you? Its a dirty job, but I suppose somebody has to do it.

And I have to feed them too...
So, not takers on how to disable auto mounting of external HDs?
Kate
I believe that you can disable automounting by opening up Konqueror: media:/ Right-click on the icon for that item, then you can go to Properties > Mounting and check your mount options.
Try doing as your username first; if you still have problems, then open up Konqueror as root: tdesu konqueror and try again. (Of course, all the usual precautions about running anything
as
root.) Messing up your mount options can make external HDDs a headache.
If this doesn't work, then you probably want to examine these files: /etc/fstab /etc/mtab However, I try not to mess with these, if everything else has been running fine until now. If you try to disable automount for a new HDD, you may inadvertently change mounting options for other drives, which will be worse.

Thanks lad, I'll give it a go in the morning. Update everyone then.
