another dumb newbie question
I looked through the man pages and I couldn't find this out: what's the command to mount a drive and then open it in the file manager?
I'm asking because I formatted my second hard in ext3 and now I want to use it for storage (like my huge collection of wallpapers and mp3s).
Thanks in advance.

Take a look at /etc/fstab
you've almost certainly got a hashed out entry for that drive. Just check the details. If OK, remove the #.
Do mount -a to make sure /etc/fstab is run again (I don't think this is necessary post 3.1, BWTH)
In your desktop, right click > create new > hard disk
now, under the general section put a label that means something to you.
In the device section, put /dev/whatever (this will be the first part of the relevant line in /etc/fstab)
In the permissions section, tick appropriately: I have all categories to read, user to write, but what you put here will depend very much on what you want.
That's it!
To open it, click once, select mount, click again to open it.
