In Redhat-9 or lowerversions how can we bring the My Computer icon(like Suse and fedora) on the desktop.
Normalli only these icons are there:
Start Here
User's Home
Trash

Thanking in advance..

Right click on the desktop, create, link, application.

in application type "konqueror /home/[your user name]".

This should get you to your home directory when you click on the icon.
Is this what you wanted to know? If not, please tell me what you expect from that icon to do when you click on it.

i meant the "Computer" icon which has subfolders like floppy,cdrom,filesystem,etc..in Fedora Core.In redhat only icons like StartHere,Home,Trash are there on the desktop and not the icon
of "computer" like what we have in Windows and Fedora-3/4
.How to bring that icon on the desktop??

the location is /media in FC3. So the link location is
"konqueror /media".

I'm not familiar with FC. I think that what is shown is the content of the mount directory; that is, where removable media are mounted.
You can check what the mount directory is by having a look at /etc/fstab. In RH8, it's /mnt

So use the previously mentioned ideas with the directory that you find. It will show the drives as directories (folders) but you can change that on a folder-by-folder base by selecting properties from the contect menu of the folder.

lets make this simple. Insert a CD, I suppose it gets automounted. Now call a console, type mount. You will see something like this:

/dev/root on / type ext2 (rw)
/dev/scd0 on /cdrom type iso9660 (ro)
/dev/cloop on /KNOPPIX type iso9660 (ro)
/ramdisk on /ramdisk type tmpfs (rw,size=187776k)
/proc/bus/usb on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw,devmode=0666)
automount(pid1006) on /mnt/auto type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=1006,minproto=2,maxproto=4)

On my KNOPPIX, as you can see, /mnt is the default. If you are using some redhat derived version, its /mount. Either way, it, the right directory will be shown (or try both...).

iam talking about RedHat-9 only..there's no "computer"
icon on the Desktop..
so how to bring that icon on the desktop..it's difficult to laways use the terminal for accessing the folders..
But the "computer" icon is presnt on the Desktops of Suse and Fedora...

I think we understand what you mean. RH probably does not have that function/icon (at least not in RH8).
So you have to make it yourself.

ichrispa's first post should tell you how to create a link on the desktop. Replace the '/home/username/' by '/mnt' (or '/media'; whichever is applicable in your distro).
