No, can't! I simply want a system that works everywere, not a system that
force me to edit some files to use it. If i have to tell the system wich disk
i have, then i'm the system! My system has to work FOR me, not WITH me...
This mean live distro...

Not like windows... You mean that what people say about linux is true? Is made
for developers only? :D Then i am a developer, but i still don't want to edit
a file to mount a drive :DD
I understand the policy thing, but i simply disagree,so how to change this
behavior?
I have to write all possible entry from hda1 to hdz99 to fstab? :D
