/mnt is a legacy mount point for drives temporarily mounted on the system. At the time floppy drives were about the only removable disk available generally, although it was used for tape and similar. /media is relatively new as a concept, and appears to have come about in the light of new technology as cd/dvd, usb, etc. Not much difference there, but the new /media is usually not mounted on directly, but new drives added as subdirectories and deleted once the drive is removed. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
