Can't remember if this list allows attachments and it is a short code, so:

#!/bin/bash

vdir=`dirname $0`

 "Would you like to use VL-Hot or HAL to manage your removable devices?  \n
 VL-Hot uses the kernel and udev to mount removable devices when they
are attached,
 and HAL uses a polling daemon that continually scans the system for
recently attached hardware.\n
 We recommend VL-Hot for older hardware. \n
 Choose the system you would like to use, and we will disable the
other." 20 71 4\

Don't know. Is there a notification plugin for LXDE, or can it use the
gnome notification plugin perhaps?
