Gday I,m Stevo I just found this forum on linuxquestions.org.
MAGIAMI aka linus72 replyed to a question i asked there found the link here so thought i ask more questions Hope you dont mind.
Im a mandriva 2010 user. I prefer kde actully Ive only used gnome a couple of times and always go back to kde ive been linuxing for about 5 years now and still a noob user apologies in advance for my poor spelling and grammar.
To the Question
I have a thing for icons Iid like to add some of my own icons to my usb sticks.
so when i put my usb stick in my mandria box it shows my icon in dolphin next to the dive info in the main tree. Is this possible ?
I ve all ready asked the same question at linux questions.org
www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/pimp-usb-sticks-785252/
and was told to look at multidistro.com/icon.zip what exactly is this please?

It looks like an auto loader for a cd / dvd for a windows machine.
do .inf and .bat files apply to Linux o/s? I thought (don't know) they only applied to windows
where the autorun.inf calls up the .bat and assigns the icon, cdrom.ico and the .bat starts index.html located inthe t GRML folder on the disk. what is the .pif file?
Does any of it apply to Linux?

Hello
yes, what I meant was that the pic you see side of the grml iso image

basically, if you put autorun.bat, autorun.pif, autorun.inf, and the cdrom.ico
on your usb stiuck
when you insert it a GRML icon will pop up and it should also put the icon on your desktop

to change it to yours
all you gotta do is replace cdrom.ico with yours,
also look at the text files and the .bat and edit them if necessary for name etc

what is your linux experience level?

gday Bryon Ie been using Mandrivia and mostly mandria for coming up 5 years install mostly from package manager, only every really need the konsile to chown the odd file or cmod it for some odd reason of corse their are various apps (mostly video convertors) that ill run from konsile and put the perimitures in or start things to see the error or perhaps an iusb comand to see if its dected but mostly if theres a GUI ill use it.
I ve got my usb stick icon plus to work with windows machines i come across, it sort of works with my favorite mandriva machine Ill have setteled at the moment till i ve played more in the settings of mandriva and i might work it out or at least phase the question in a clearer direction as too what mandriva to do.
cheers Stevo
