Using a USB Memory Stick in HT 319 Lab.

When you want to use your USB memory stick in the ht319 lab:

1. Connect your memory stick to the computer. A window will appear saying "A new medium has been detected. What do you want to do?". Select "Open in New Window", then Konqueror window will open. Also, the "Removable Device" icon will appear on your desktop. You can copy your files using Konqueror.

2. After your work is done, close Konqueror. Then right click on the icon and choose Safely Remove. This will umount your memory stick safely.
   

   This step is easily forget but important because writing to/from a memory stick is asynchonous (or a background job). This command assures you that all writing job has been done.
