External Hard Disks (USB and FireWire)
As soon as an external hard disk has been correctly recognized by the system, its
icon appears in My Computer (KDE) or Computer (GNOME) in the list of mounted
drives. Clicking the icon displays the contents of the drive. It is possible to create
folders and files here and edit or delete them. To rename a hard disk from the name
it had been given by the system, select the corresponding menu item from the menu
that opens when the icon is right-clicked. This name change is limited to display
in the file manager. The descriptor by which the device is mounted in /media
remains unaffected by this.
USB Flash Drives
These devices are handled by the system just like external hard disks. It is similarly

Chapter 18, Manipulating Graphics with The GIMP (↑KDE User Guide). Find
more information about f-spot in GNOME User Guide.
