Opensuse Automount Option

The inability to unmount a partition in Opensuse was begining to nag. On the search for a way to create a bootable Flash drive installation, I came across the procedure to do so.
The drives can be unmounted through a circuitous way which requires launching the file manager, and accessing the System tab in the left most column. There all the partitions that have been mounted are displayed. Access the Properties of the relevant partition and the option to unmount is displayed there. Here one can also manage the auto mounting behaviour of Opensuse.

By the way, the initial attempt at creating a bootable flash drive failed with Knoppix 5, and instructions from pendrivelinux.com. I recall Damn Small Linux had an explicit option to install to USB, and I am hopeful that will do the trick.
