[NTLUG:Discuss] Mounted Volume Drive Icon Names - a mystery - [a gnome mystery]

[terry]

Ok, sorry, the last two emails were supposed to have gone to my friend
Fred.  I accidental sent my ramblings to NTLUG instead - was pretty
much just thinking out loud - sorry.

This whole thing started because my friend Fred emailed me complaining
about the un-user-friendly named icon on his Ubuntu desktop, and I was
trying to figure out a remedy. (I'm predominantly a Slackware user,
and not really up-to-speed with Ubuntu and udev, but learned a little
about it just now...)

Anyway, thanks for all the good info, and sorry about the miss-directed emails.

By the way, this is what I just sent to him, (in stead of the
ramblings I just sent to you all):
------------------------<FORWARDED MESSAGE>----------------------------
We only need to change the mount point, and the corresponding entry
in /etc/fstab  (This is easy and works just fine.)

Ok here's what I did as am experiment:
# mkdir /Slackware
# vim /etc/fstab
  (and changed /mnt/hda4 to /Slackware on the pertinent line)

So, that's easy enough...

So, for you, just change the line that starts with /dev/hda1
                           to something like:
/dev/hda1       /MS_Windows       auto    rw,user,noauto    0   0

And then create mount point:
# mkdir /MS_Windows

 (You can of course substitute "MS_Windows" for whatever you want,
... like "XP" or "Win98" or "Winblows" or "Winders" ... etc. whatever
suits you.)
