Yes, editing /etc/fstab will do the trick. There are GUIs that will 
edit it for you, but I normally do it by hand if I want to change 
something after the initial install. There used to be programs that 
would add/remove mount points for removable media like USB "pen" 
drives, but that method isn't used any more.
