Am using Icewm... how do I display and browse my other partitions on my HD with Rox or should I be using something else? Thanks __{{emoticon}}__

Rox should work. After you open rox, click up arrow 2x to up a directory 2x, then click on a folder called: mnt

and they should be there. You might have to click on them to mount them.

Thunar will also work like this.

Rox and Thunar both appear to mount but no contents show up on any of the partitions. I have not tried to mount as root yet to see if it's a permissions problem.

Post, as root: and the contents of your /etc/fstab.

I like my storage partitions to be mounted in my home directory, so I create a folder called"storage" the edit my /etc/fstab(as root) to look like this:

/dev/sdb1 /home/me/storage ext3 defaults,noatime,users,exec 0 0

I don't want them to automount but I want to be able to mount them from a file manager and view and manage the contents. I can mount but nothing shows up in the partition.

Can now browse and manage the partitions. Did a dist-upgrade in smxi and everything worked after that. Thanks for the help. coj __{{emoticon}}__

sudo mount /dev/sda? /mnt

Always works for me in Thunar and Xfce or Openbox.
