isntalled when the "browse when disk is inserterd " is ticked i get splashed with every mount point except the one i want /var /tmp / /usr + my local drives that are partitioned on the hard disk. but not the external usb drive. any help will be appreciated i am trying not to install GNOME where possible as i know that GNOME mounts volumes differently. many thanks in advance
