Well, sure it worked, i mounted it by hand with :
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
Very little can go wrong if i do it like that.

Indeed, did install it, let's see what happens. ... oh, well, gthumb doesn't

:/ Speak with the RMs before taking any decision on this though. If you have a
fixed version, maybe it could be considered for inclusion in sarge, don't know

I believe it is an important feature, and will be sorely missed, especially in
non-geeky environment, where doing a mount /dev/sda1 /mnt is not acceptable.
