How is one meant to unmount a USB memory stick?
Is there a Fedora or KDE equivalent to Windows "Safely Unmount"? I don't see anything in the K-menu.
The reason I ask is that I always unmount my USB memory stick with "umount /media/ATV" as that appears to be what Fedora calls it. But then when I reboot next I am told that this device cannot be found.
It doesn't seem to cause any problems, but just puzzles me.

I just right click on the desktop Icon, and then click on 'Safely Remove'. Or if it's an older version of FC, just right click on the USB stick icon, and click on unmount..

If it shows up as an icon, on your desktop, a right click on it should open a window with a list of options, unmount should be one of them. Ric

Thanks very much. The desktop icon was hidden behind my "desktop".
