+bashmount (manage removeable media)
-An example configuration file is located at /etc/bashmount.conf
-You can copy this to $HOME/.config/bashmount/config.
+bashmount is a menu-driven bash script that can use different
+backends to easily mount, unmount or eject removable devices without
+dependencies on any GUI. An extensive configuration file allows many
+aspects of the script to be modified and custom commands to be run
+on devices.
+
+bashmount can also be used alongside any automounting solutions, such
+as graphical file managers, udev rules, or Udiskie.
+
+An example configuration file is located at "/etc/bashmount.conf",
+with all options commented out. You can modify this, or copy it to
+"~/.config/bashmount/config" and modify it as desired, on a per-user
+basis.
