do not mount local drives using startup disk

Postby andybuckle on Fri Mar 30, 2012 4:05 am

I installed mint 12 on a USB stick using the neat startup disk creator. It seems to mount the local drives automatically (at least they appear in Dolphin). I would like to just use the stick and not touch the local disks at all. How do I reconfigure?

Thanks, Andy

Linux Mint is funded by ads and donations.

Hi

Might be worth looking at viewtopic.php?f=191&t=97598
I've fixed Windows, tried running with Jackalopes, fought Koalas & now, I'm addicted to Mints

i noted that they got mounted under /media

i did umount on everything, deleted the cdrom symlink. (as root)

chmod o= /media
chmod g= /media

then stuff can't get mounted there, apart from on purpose, by root.

this is a bit of a kludge. i wish i understood what was was doing the mounting, so i could stop it more elegantly.
