      G’day I am new, Have come from Peppermint and a long line of Linux distro’s prior to that. All Hail “Linux”. I can not find the additional HDD’s that I have on the P/C that I have just loaded ANTIX 17 on. On Peppermint they were listed the file manager.

      Regards Thegrumpyone a.k.a.Shane,

      P/s I think that in Linux distro’s we should stop referring to a screen instance as a window, Because as all Micro$oft users know all to well Windows Breaks all the time.
      Portals would be a good name.

        Aren’t they auto-mounted and shown on the left pane of SpaceFM?

            Don’t know either. We’ll have to wait until somebody has an idea.

                Hi Shane, is this a live-system or an installed system, we are talking about ?

                  G’day Caprea,
                  This in fact is an installed system that had been installed from a live usb. I also have the problem that my antix 17.3 it will not boot up without manual interference from me. also it wont remember my left handed settings for the mouse. (yeah yeah I’m left handed)

                  Regards Shane,

                    It looks like you have to create a mountpoint for the device(s) you want to access.

                    Look in your fstab with

                    geany /etc/fstab
                    

                    Under eg. sda1 you should see your mountpoint like /media/XXXXXXX
                    (The media is the mountpoint)

                    Then create a mountpoint with
                    sudo mkdir /media/XXXXXXX

                    Afterwards this device should be reachable frome spacefm.

                      As far as I can see this is now an antix.17.4.1 installation.Does it now remember your left handed settings for the mouse ?
                      Is your antix.17.3-installation fully updated and dist-upgraded and you still have the problem with the mouse ?

                          Open terminal and
                          sudo mkdir /media/Terry3

                          It will ćreate a mountpoint for your device sda1.Then try to open sda1 with spacefm, should work now.

                                control-centre-> hardware-> mouse-configuration
                                There are two changes you have to make when using the mouse-configuration.
                                First set it to left hand layout.
                                Then under startup – Enable mouse-configuration on startup
                                Then click on apply
