Hello

In fedora core 2 there is a computer icon on the desktop. In here i can see my floppy, cd-rom, network etc. I think that it could be nice to put my own drive in here, so it works a little like "my computer" in windows. But how?
I have tried to mount it in /mnt and add it to fstab to see if it is put in there automaticly, but that did not work.

Does anyone know how to do this?

No not quite.
I know how to mount it to a folder but i want it to be in the computer icon on the desktop.
The orther things in there is mountet in /mnt/xxx, so i proberbly need to add my new drive to a config-file somewhere.

I think that his computer icon thing is a part of nautilus because I tried to pull it out on a terminal and the output said something about nautilus.
