Since the "drive letter" of removable devices is subject to change,
I now use UUID values in /etc/fstab instead of /dev/sd??. (Except
for /boot and /.)
# blkid /dev/sdXY
# vi /etc/fstab (Replace /dev/sdXY with UUID="<long string>")
Also, if you have hal installed, GNOME & KDE should automagically
handle removable devices for you.
