First, I have to state that I hate automounters of all kinds. To me, they just get in the way. Perhaps this leads to my problem, but, if so, I still need to find a workaround. I'd like to get rid of the icons on my desktop, because all I use them for is to mount my various media. There was a KDE util included in the Maroon Toque distro that sat in the "system tray" and kept track of mounting and unmounting drives. I can't find this in SuSE. Do I need to install another package? Is there a new program that does this, but is called something else? Thanks, dk

Thanks, dk Maybe a diiferent window manager. I like blackbox
I hate desktop icons too. I use kwikdisk in the system tray to mount and unmount drives. It's on the KDE (SuSE) menu : system --> filesystem tools. Best wishes - Ken On Tuesday 03 June 2003 6:26 pm, ro b wrote:

I have had pretty good luck with the KDE app kwickdisk. It will sit in the system tray and allow you to mount and unmount shares and drives listed in the fstab. On Tue, 2003-06-03 at 13:22, David Krider wrote:

Bingo! That was it. I have that package installed, but I don't have an icon for it. Strange. Anyway. Thanks to Kevin and Kenneth too! Regards, dk
