    <title>Introduction to gnome-mount</title>

    <warning>
      <para>The instructions on this page are not complete. This page will
      be finished ASAP. The dependencies are probably correct, but the build
      instructions have not been confirmed. This page is being added now 
      because it is referenced by another GNOME page, which causes validation
      issues.</para>
    </warning>

    <para>The <application>gnome-mount</application> package contains programs
    for mounting, unmounting and ejecting storage devices. The goal for
    <application>gnome-mount</application> is to get the appropriate GNOME
    software (such as <application>gnome-volume-manager</application> and
    <application>GNOME-VFS</application>) to use this instead of invoking
    <command>mount</command>/<command>umount</command>/<command>eject</command>
    or direct <application>HAL</application> invoking methods.</para>

    <para>All the <application>gnome-mount</application> programs utilize the
    methods on <application>HAL</application> and as such run unprivileged. The
    rationale for <application>gnome-mount</application> is to have a
    centralized place (in <application>GConf</application>) where settings
    (e.g., mount options and mount locations) are maintained.</para>
