[ydl-gen] recognizing external drive?

[Derick Centeno]

Within YDL it your options depends on which Desktop Environment one  
is in.  KDE which can be installed as an option from within pirut  
will see your drive and mount it as soon as it boots up.  However if  
you are within E17 although E17 will see your external drive there is  
one more step necessary to execute.  I'm not sure how to automate the  
process without using a script.

Even so, within E17 do this:

Find the primary window which appears automatically within the first  
virtual window out of 4, 10, or however many you use.  Look for  
within that virtual window a menu called Places --> Computer.   
Another window will appear listing all devices E17 currently sees.   
You should see your external drive there, to get e17 to mount it  
double-click on it.

I'm writing this from memory at this time.  Unfortunately I can't  
cross-check this advice for accuracy right now as I'm not in YDL.  I  
hope that my recollection is sufficient.

All the best...
