When I plug in my USB Flash Disk, the Removable USB Media icon shows up on my desktop (KDE) and everything is ok. But when I right-click the icon there is no option to eject it as with a cdrom. I'm assuming that it isn't safe to just pull it out. Am I missing something here?
Yep, bad assumption. Just pull the thing out and keep going. I've been doing that for the last couple of years and have yet to have a problem with one of the things. It has something to do with the difference between the way win and linux do cacheing of the write stuff. Apparently linux writes immediately so nothing is lost, so long as you dont pull it out during a write and that is easy to tell, look at the LED first. Richard
