What kind of disk? Hard disk, floppy disk, compact disk (CD) ?

You can use the "Disk Utility" in the system tools menu, iirc .... click the device you want, then click mount.

Or, there is a GUI mounting applet you can put in your panel for fast mount/unmount

What about USB devices like a flash drive?

I'm using suse now aswell and i would also like to know what you type at the terminal to mount drives, is it not the same as redhat with mount /mnt/floppy/ and mount /mnt/cdrom/ ??
Thanks
