they are inserted. They also have to be unmounted before removal. Don't ask

a shortcut for this.

Last byte: I am now leading a dual life. Each time I boot the machine, I

have to decide, Windows or Linux ? The net effect is that I am hardly getting

any work done!

lives in Bombay with his wife and a small daemon. Oops! Make that a small

child who is learning to type alphabets in Linux Kedit. You can contact him
