Can Synaptic when used with Mate be tweaked
I've just installed Jessie with Mate DE to a new machine.
On previous installs on other machines, a search icon was present
on Synaptic's menu bar. It is not there now, what have I done
differently?
My machine is a laptop whose CD eject button is small and in an
awkward location. Is there anyway to have Synaptic eject rather
than unmount the CD when it has finished with it?
[As a side note, I have noticed that some USB flash drives have a
"safe remove" option, others have only an "eject" option. I would
prefer USB flash drives to only have an unmount option. Possible?]
As an alternative to the above, is there any way to have Synaptic
use an external USB connected drive rather than the internal CD?
The external drive is moderately faster and has a convent eject
button.
TIA
