This hint explains how to edit cocoa applications to have the emacs shortcuts. This hint explains how to alter the Mac OS X terminal so that meta-keys are passed to Emacs.

You can edit the fstab to control various aspects of mounting.

The following command will allow you to determine the UUID of hfs volumes on Mac OS X :

echo `/System/Library/Filesystems/hfs.fs/hfs.util -k diskXsX`

This next command will work for most disk typs on Ubuntu :

ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/

To set an hfs volume to not auto mount by UUID use the following syntax within the /etc/fstab file use the following syntax. Keep in mind that editing the fstab can result in serious issues. You have been warned ; be extremely carful   :

UUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx  none  hfs  rw,noauto

You may also specify the volume name with the following syntax. Again assuming the disk is hfs :

LABEL=Volume Name none  hfs  rw,noauto
