K12LTSP v5 has new-and-much-improved removable media support, thanks
to LTSP 4.2:

  * Redesigned local device support based on ltspfs and lbus. Currently,
    USB Memory sticks, USB CDRom, IDE CDrom and floppy drives are supported.
    With local devices enabled, when you insert a memory stick or a CDRom,
    an Icon appears on the desktop that is browseable. Remove the memory
    stick or CDrom, and the icon disappears.
