[cutted] I agree in that point, that only /mnt shall be used for temporary mounts (like /mnt/zip, /mnt/cdrom, /mnt/A, etc). Mounting drives by myself are done with that. The problem are the distributors. SuSE's yast par example mounts the cdrom as /cdrom (yes, it's mounted under / :-( ). IMO the FHS should state a clear expression on that issue. bye Martin
