I would like to plug in a usb memory stick, or a usb hard drive and know in 
advance where it is going to mount, extactly.  My backup and archive programs 
check to make sure the correct removable device is installed (using dosemu) 
and DVD-RAM media, sparq media and ubb sticks.  I cannot do this under linux 
without knowing the mount point of the device. I am running suse 8.2. I like 
to put my external media in a directory called /media.  I would like to name 
the device, especially the mem sticks, as I have several and I could put a 
label on the device.  Alse, since I use different encryption keys for 
different pieces of media (not type), ID becomes an issue.

I checks man pages, info pages, admin manual in the suse help.  none address 
this issue.
