or DVD) is inserted into a drive, the medium is automatically mounted to a subdirectory
of /media that is based on the medium??™s volume ID.

mounted, a Nautilus window opens to display the contents of that medium.
 Auto-run programs on new drives and media??”After a removable medium is inserted
and mounted, auto-run any program in the top-level directory of the medium that is
named .autorun, autorun, or autorun.sh.
 Auto-open files on new drives and media??”After a removable medium is inserted and
mounted, open any file in the top-level directory of the medium that is named
.autoopen or autoopen.
 Burn a CD or DVD when a blank disc is inserted??”When a blank CD or DVD is
inserted, you are asked if you want to make an audio CD or data CD. Either selection

to Disc when you are done, and the files are burned to that medium.

multiple users have login accounts, each can have his or her own way of handling removable media.
