Mount

Most media (CD, DVD, USB flash drive) are mounted automatically in KDE or Gnome.

Mount and unmount manually

You can mount Cds and DVDs manually by using gnome-mount --device /dev/cdrom . The media is now
mounted in the directory /media . With gnome-umount --device /dev/cdrom the CD/DVD will be unmounted
(you can remove the media from the drive only after unmounting)

For USB flash drives und USB hard disks:
Usually gnome-mount --device /dev/sda and gnome-umount --device /dev/sda. In some cases you have
to use sda1 or sdb instead of sda. Check /dev to find out the correct location.

Better alternative to gnome-mount:
use hmount device mount_point (and hmount -u device for unmounting). If the mount point is omited the
media will automatically mounted in /media. Example: hmount /dev/sdb1 /media/myusbstick
To show all available options of hmount use man hmount .
