I do undertand what you are trying to accomplish. There are many projects & thought on mounting & mapping filesystems. Please elaborate.
Thanks,
James
I would like to have all prtitions to show up in one folder instead of being scatared all over the desktop. This is similler to My Computer in Windows. Does any body know how to?

just make new folder and drag all icons or which u want into that folder
James
I am remastring knoppix and would like the system to show the icons for the hard disk partitions inside a folder on the desktop instead of having them on the desktop. I hope I am clear now.

I did that and got all partitions shown inside the folder but when I restart my PC the partitions icons come back again on the desktop also.
As far as I can tell the script /usr/bin/mkdesktophdicons creates the desktop icons on bootup. I don't know how it is getting called, although I have a feeling it is getting called from the /etc/X11/xessions.d/45xsession file. You might be able to edit the /usr/bin/mkdesktophdicons script so that it creates the icons in a folder.
I hope I am right and I hope this helps.

James

You have to create folder My Computer in desktop folder and have an icon for it on disktop. Actually I did not prepare this file, I got it from a new distro.
