[RULE] mounting and unmounting-script

[Ingo Lantschner]

Hi all,
in order to make Linux usable for the ones who are completly new to 
computers, we are looking for a solution to mount and unmount floppys 
and cdroms.

So far I tested rox, which is due to its dependencies not good for our 
needs.

As a first step, I integrated some icons into iceWM which call the 
simple commands like:
	xterm -e ".../mount /mnt/cdrom"
	...

The main problem here is, that even if the mount fails, the user does 
not see a message. This is worst in the case of umounting the floppy 
(for the cd I used eject, wich gives a reasonable feedback to the user)

So my question is, if someone who already has the experience and knowhow 
can write these 4 scripts (mount and umount floppy/cdrom), which gives 
in the case of errors some feedback to the user. Xdialog is already 
installed on these systems, since they use the screengrabbertool from rule.

Thanks in advance, Ingo.


P.S: Just fyi: mc is installed (and so perl)
