Re: CD-rom and ZIP



Come to think of it Redhat did put mount points under /mnt/  Being lazy I
usually mount everything (cd, floppies) under mount.  But I did make mount
points of /A, /B, /CD, and now /bernie.   The latter is for my bernoulli
drive, the first two for the floppys.  I don't remember if /A: was legal.
Dos dies hard.

This looks like a RedHatism. I thought that /mnt was intended
for temporary mounts only; anything more regular like cdroms you would
probably want to make a top level directory. For example I have
/cdrom and /zip on my machine. I think /cdrom is pretty standard.
