Hear, hear; but this isn't the way to go about it. > /mnt/tmp temp (what uses to be /mnt) I think we can agree that the days of /mnt being use as a temporary mount point, rather than as a directory containing mountpoints are over. My question about this lot is: whose problem are you trying to solve? The newbie isn't going to benefit from /mnt/loop, /mnt/tmp, etc, and the experienced user isn't going to tolerate /mnt/remote for all those different NFS mountpoints. /mnt/win breaks the moment you have multiple windows partitions. The tree-structure thing would require updates every three months and no-one would actually use it. I think the most we can lay down is that /mnt is the preferred place for mounting things, temporary or otherwise, and that polluting / with /floppy, /cdrom is bad, because someone will then have to invent /lawnmower in two years' time.
