the right place to mount media and other PCs over nfs is a pissing contest
	- root should NOT be mounting anything temporarily 

	- automounters has its own mountpoints

	- users should be mounting things consistently, so that
	tom/dick and harry cn find where you mounted stuff

		/usr/local
		/var/spool/mail
		/var/www
		/home
	
		all can be mounted in its expected location
		or mounted anywhere else ( /mnt/local, /mnt/home, .. )

- add the additional mounting fun for
	mounting *.i386 binaries ( generic )
	mounting *.i686 binaries ( p4 )
	mounting *.amd binaries
	mounting *.emt-64 binaries
	mounting *.sun3
	mounting *.sun4
	...


	ie use /usr/local.`uname -m`

i mount everything under /mnt because ALL pcs is the same ...
and anythign is considered local to the disk/PC itself and NOT
mounted from anywhere else
	/mnt/floppy
	/mnt/dvd
	/mnt/cdrom
	/mnt/Win98
	/mnt/Win2K
	...

and anything that is automounted is mounted under it's own /.autofs
with symlinks to provide:
	/n/Win98
	/n/Win2K
	/n/Mail
	/n/Web
	/n/home
	...
