said Leslie Turriff: | Use lsof (list open files) to see what's making it busy, then umount? problem was that the instant *anything* touched the removable device, it was automounted again. the solution was finding the item in the right-click menu that, when dived down to, would allow one to unclick the automount option. then it would stay unmounted. i discovered the option about 20 seconds after i hit send on the original question. now comes changing the Q4OS version of trinity into the trinity version of trinity, and restoring all my settings. which will take a little while but will have to wait until i have a few hours to do it. -- dep The shortest distance between you and playing great acoustic guitar: the great new instructional DVDs from Marjorie Thompson, available at www.MarjorieThompson.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
