They are working on it. It is a "Draft". man gnome-mount returned this at one time running Fedora Core 6 Test 2/3 when I tried mounting a floppy disk https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-September/msg00561.html [olivares localhost ~]$ gnome-mount -help gnome-mount 0.4.0.2006.07.24 [olivares localhost ~]$ gnome-mount --help Usage: gnome-mount [OPTION...] - GNOME mount Help Options: -?, --help Show help options --help-all Show all help options --help-gtk Show GTK+ Options Application Options: -v, --verbose Verbose operation -n, --no-ui Don't show any dialogs -b, --block Allow gnome-mount to block for UI -u, --unmount Unmount rather than mount -e, --eject Eject rather than mount -h, --hal-udi Mount by HAL UDI -d, --device Mount by device file -p, --pseudonym Mount by one of device's nicknames: mountpoint, label, with or without directory prefix -t, --text Text-based operation -m, --mount-point Specify mount point -o, --mount-options Specify mount options -f, --fstype Specify file system type --write-settings Don't mount; write given settings for volume/drive --display-settings Don't mount; display settings for volume/drive --erase-settings Don't mount; erase settings for volume/drive --display=DISPLAY X display to use [olivares localhost ~]$ gnome-mount now does it job as it should. I can mount floppies this using gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0 and USB drives are automatically mounted. FC6 is looking great so far. Hope that most bugs are ironed out and all users expect a better fedora than before.

No, do not give up on Fedora because of this. Use the command line tools that have worked for us in the past. mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy,. Make a directory /mnt/cdrom and use the command mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom and we can see the cdrom mounted in the case that it did not mount automagically. We need to give more feedback and just like Ric said complain, someone will hear and make changes and the next fedora release should be better than the previous one.
