Complain where you wish, so long as you recognize
that your complaint might
not
do any good, given the incorrect venue. My
response to Tim was actually
intended to help. (Whether or not it did is
another matter.) Complaining in

this list about something that comes from upstream
seems a bit pointless to
me,
unless you just want your opinion heard, I guess.

Thanks! I was just trying to figure out where to
direct it: since no one seems
to respond on the list, for over one year!


FC6 has a nice manpage for gnome-mount now.

Where is this manpage?

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

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.

I guess I should wait for FC6
to be released?


and what if users like me decide not to use gnome
or KDE? Should
they be expected to give up on Fedora?

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.

Regards,

Antonio


I use gnome, so I can't answer your question.

Thanks again!

Best,
Trotter
