You have to use the same device with gnome-mount as you would with mount. You wouldn't try mount /dev/sdb /mnt/tmp, would you? (The exception is when the entire device is one file system, with out a partition table - like floppy drives.) Gnome-mount will produce an error message when it can not connect to an x server, but other then that, it is happy to mount things using the CLI. It works in FC6 snf F7 for me. One bug in gnome-mount is that it produces the X error even when using the -t or --text option... Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
