Easy question, but I forgot

Good morning

I have a number of partitions that I would like to automatically mount when I start the system. I know I could edit fstab, but is there a KDe/Gui way to do this? I thought there was but I can't remember how. Thanks.

Hi aqoliveira

Thanks for your response. I started up gnome, found Disk Management. Now the question is how do I get the partitions to automount using the Disk Management program? Thanks.

that method is normally to mount a tempoary drive or partion the best way is to do it via the /etc/fstab file where u will enter the new parameters to mount drive or partion. If u have a fd,cdrom,nfs,ftp mounts then u can use the automount feature which mounts a drive temporary normally for 60 sec and only when accessed.
