[GRLUG] Firefox on an external drive

[Bob Kline]

Tried entering /media.  The floppy and
cdrom appear, but not the hard drives.

Entering file:///, one of the items is
"media," and shows the same things
as just entering /media.

But another item is /disk2, which
shows nothing if I left click on it.
