Maybe I shouldn't make a fool of myself in public ;) but I used to, at some point in the past, use /mnt itself as a mountpoint. However, that was several years ago; nowadays I create subdirectories in /mnt like most other Linux users. Using /mnt directly is often done on other Unix-like operating systems, so anybody still doing that today is probably coming over from another Unix-like OS. (For instance, I'm logged into a Solaris 8 box in another xterm, and I just checked if /mnt there has subdirectories. It doesn't.) -Barry K. Nathan <barryn@xxxxxxxxx>
