NOTE: ===== I do _NOT_ recommend giving mount.app suid or sgid permissions. If you want to run mount.app without using Window Maker as your window manager, you must use the "-n" command line paramater: mount.app -n USAGE: ====== launch with mount.app drag it to the dock, set it to be autolaunched, and enjoy. press the "<" and ">" arrow buttons to select a device / mount point. press the mount button (the one with a bolt symbol) to mount or unmount. Double-click on the drive icon to open a program at the mount point (Midnight Commander for example). Double click on the black background to launch the config app. If you run mount.app as non-root, and none of your devices are marked as user-mountable, then mount.app will display only the last mount point listed in your /etc/fstab file. Read the documentation that came with your distribution about how to make devices user mountable. In general it involves adding the option "user" to the list of options in /etc/fstab. (the mount(8) and fstab(5) man pages are good reading as well) Read the INSTALL files for details in how to get the eject function to work. If you make any modifications on the "Icons" tab, you'll have to restart mount.app for them to take effect. All other modifications should happen automagically when you hit the "Make it so" button. mount.app stores its configuration in ~/GNUstep/Defaults/mount.app but you should never have to edit this file directly, unless you need to tweak something that is not yet configurable from the config app (like fonts and colors). RELEASE HISTORY: ================ See the ChangeLog MAKING NEW ICONS: ================= You don't like mount.app's icons? Well then fire up the gimp and make some new ones. Just take one of the existing ones as a sample, modify it to hearts content, then save it to your icondir with the others. Fire up the config app and assign one of the "User defined" icon types to it (Or even override one of the default pixmaps) then assign that icon type to a mount point. That's it! Unfortunately, because of the way mount.app initializes itself, it cannot automatically load the new pixmap when the config app quits. You'll have to kill the dock app and restart it. (The same is true of mount.app's colors and fonts). And please, if you do make new icons, send them to me so they can be added to the distribution.
