The lack of documentation for cmdline users is very unfortunate and I think is indicative of how bleedy-edge the ongoing development in the new approach is. I think its pretty clear that the developer(s) working on this approach haven't been thinking in the context of cmdline users, and there hasn't been an effort to provide on-system documentation of the cmdline oriented tools. Without getting into the debate as to short-comings with the overall design, I will say that the cmdline tools are much less mature than the corresponding UI functionality in the gnome/kde desktops. The largest cmdline tool specific problem right now for me is discoverability of available mountable devices. According to the design, when using the desktop the filemanager shows you which devices are available to mount. At the cmdline, there is no concise toolized mechanism to do anything similar. Ideally, I'd want to be able to run gnome-mount with some argument, say --list, would give you the list of user mountable devices and some sort of status as to what sort of device they are. I would imagine lshal output could be parsed, but it's too cumbersome to reasonably expect cmdline users to do. -jef -jef -jef -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
