This is a frustration I came upon fairly early in using f9. The absence of control of
what the system should do with CDs, DVDs and thumb drives. They all
mount on my machine but i don't know why.
Part of the answer is in:System->Preferences->Personal->File Management
Preferences-> Media
Browse Media when inserted for example.. But I am not sure what that
does exactly.
