Thanks - that does clear it up, however...   It seems less intrusive (/
already has too much in there) and in my opinion better name match to use
/mnt/temp for "temporary mount" and /mnt/floppy and /mnt/disk and
/mnt/VOLUME, etc for "other" mount points...  Since you're changing things
anyway, this seems like a better choice - plus it has the benefit of being
"backward compatible" without introducing more / directories.
