Command line users do have a a way to access things still: the terribly named named gnome-mount. Of course there's no manpage but --help does work and I did eventually figure out: > gnome-mount -v -t --device /dev/fd0 gnome-mount 0.4 ** (gnome-mount:9416): DEBUG: Will attempts methods on drive object ** (gnome-mount:9416): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0_storage with mount_point='', fstype='', num_options=1 ** (gnome-mount:9416): DEBUG: option='uid=500' Mounted /dev/fd0 at "/media/floppy" There's also gnome-umount to get rid of them. Under KDE, media:/ shows the floppy and I can mount it, but the icon doesn't change and I can't unmount it except by using gnome-umount (or umount as root). - J<
