To clarify: the device file is /dev/sda1. The mount point is the directory in 
the local structure where the structure of the device should be included. in 
Fedora Core 2 and lower /mnt is the standard directory for all mount points. 
(ie. /mnt/flashdisk). In Fedora Core 3 (and above i imagine) the mount points 
are under /media .
