I said: "2. Watch as the system does *something* but nothing user-visible." On the surface, this appears to be a self-contradictory sentence. What I was trying to convey is not self-contradiction, but a lack of end-user accessible change. To clarify, I was trying to convey that you can see (via hard disk activity indicators, for instance) that something is happening as a direct result of inserting the USB drive. RH9 clearly sees the USB device and does something when you physically attached it. But as far as the end-user's experience is concerned, nothing happens. No icon pops up on the desktop allowing easy read, delete, write, and format access to the device or its contents. Ideally, an icon would pop up on the desktop and let the user deal with the drive as the user deals with any other drive. Then the user can eject or unmount the drive logically, wait for the system to somehow give an "all clear" to physically disconnect the drive, and then slip the USB connector out of the system. I don't know if there was any problem understanding what I was trying to describe, but if there was I hope this helps. This should be a lot better in fc3. |
