Mounting Fat 32 (Windows) directory in FC2

[Norman Nunn]

My setup only adds the CDrom, DVD, floppy, icons, ... when they are in
use.  My win and dos mounted partitions only show in Konqueror,
Nautilus, etc.  You could try adding a launcher to your desktop with the
command 'konqueror /mnt/win' or 'nautilus /mnt/win'.  That will give you
the same affect except for a unmounting feature.
