HOW?

Just now, using the "Places" entry on MATE's menu bar I was able to:
1. mount the specific flash drive that triggered this 'plaint.
2. edit the *SPECIFIC* text file that Pluma would only open as
"READ ONLY".
That had been "straw that broke the camel's back".
This has me wondering if the objectionable reaction was *before*
OR *after* having run
gsettings set org.mate.media-handling automount false
For another project, I was already intending to create a custom
preseed.cfg.
That will allow me to do _functionally_ identical installs [only
physical difference being the target partition of the
installation procedure.].
Is there a standard log file that will record *ALL* operator GUI
*OR* command line actions *AND* the system's response?
I've the time but am short on test procedure design skills.
