[K12OSN] Local devices-particularly USB thumbdrives on IceWM (Gnome)...K12LTSP

[Jim McQuillan]

David,

For the hotplug stuff, like usb devices, you don't need to specify the
devices in lts.conf.  So, in your example below, you can leave out the
'LOCAL_DEVICE_03' line.

Just make sure you get the updated scripts from the wiki.

Also, what Scott balneaves and I are working on now will pretty much
blow away all the old methods for doing this.  More details on that in
the coming weeks.
