Mostly it's a matter of taste, as I see it. Acc. to FHS /mnt is for temporarily mounted filesystems while /media is for removable media. But since it's your system you can call it whatever you like. Of course if you are using some kind of automounter you may need to follow what ever restrictions it has... http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html Best regards Peter K
