<para>&kdiskfree; displays the available file devices (hard drive
|
|
partitions, floppy and &CD; drives, &etc;) along with information on
|
|
their capacity, free space, type and mount point. It also allows you
|
|
to mount and unmount drives and view them in a file manager.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kdiskfree; is similar to the &kcontrol; Disk-Free module <!--
|
|
(<application>kcmdf</application>) -->, but takes up less screen
|
|
space. It is useful if you want to keep a &kdiskfree; window available at
|
|
all times.</para>

<para>In the picture above, four devices are shown: one reiserfs-formatted
|
|
hard drive partition mounted at the filesystem root (<filename
|
|
class="directory">/</filename>), two &CD-ROM;'s, and a floppy drive.</para>
|
|
|

<para><mousebutton>Left</mousebutton> clicking on the header of a

particular column sorts the devices according to that variable. A

second <mousebutton>left</mousebutton> click sorts in the opposite

order.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Clicking on a row pops up a menu. If that device is not
|
|
currently mounted, the <guimenuitem>Mount Device</guimenuitem> option
|
|
is available. If the device is mounted, it can be unmounted by
|
|
choosing <guimenuitem>Unmount Device</guimenuitem>. Selecting
|
|
<guimenuitem>Open in File Manager</guimenuitem> opens a new window with a
|
|
graphical view of the files on that device.</para>
