newbe's question about mount points

[Ezequiel]

I'm new to Debian, and I've noticed that in this distro /floppy and /cdrom
are not placed inside /mnt as in RedHat. Can someone explain me why ? Isn't
/mnt the directory for temporary mount points in most UNIX systems as the
Linux Filesystem Structure describes it in
