FEATURES

mm is a GUI for the mount/umount commands. You can mount/unmount a set of devices (specified either in
the system's /etc/fstab or in your own ~/.mmrc). These devices, their mountpoints and state 
(mounted/unmounted, ro/rw) will be shown in a listview, and doubleclicking (or pressing return) an item 
will initiate a mount/umount command and update the list. It's very basic.

BUILDING

To build mm you'll need as well the qt libraries as well as the tmake tool from Trolltech. They're
both availlable from http://www.trolltech.com . If you don't have and don't want tmake, you might be
successful to compile with the Makefile that's included in the package.

1. Unpacking the sources
type:
tar -xvf mm-VERSION.tar.gz
cd mm

2. Generating the Makefile
type:
tmake mm.pro >Makefile

3. Compiling
type:
make

INSTALLATION

you must probably be root for the following steps

1. Install the executable
type:
cp mm /usr/local/bin #(or your favourite bin directory)

2. Customize mm
If you don't customize mm it will manage all devices in /etc/fstab. You probably don't want this.
Just copy /etc/fstab to ~/.mmrc and edit this file. Throw out all the devices you don't want .
(/, /home for example and keep those with "noauto")
type:
cp /etc/fstab ~/.mmrc
$VISUAL ~./mmrc

3. Icon
There is an icon for mm in the XPM format, 16x16 and 32x32 pixels. Install it wherever you need it.
I use mm with icewm, therefore I put the icons in /usr/lib/X11/icewm/icons and added mm to the
Toolbar menu.
