You can lift in your mount points from /etc/fstab, or specify it manually (right click on Gkrellm > Configuration > Builtins > File System). A useful feature is its user-definable (u)mount command: e.g., mount + open the mounted volume in your favourite file manager. Note: It doesn't ask for a password (mounts if you can, or provides a small error message window, if you can't). Z.
