What is the desktop applet that shows you how much space you have left in / and /home? Reason I ask, is that I installed Geexbox as a home theater (in a 8mb partition) and installed DSL to a separate partition to use to move files back and forth..etc.

I have a secondary hard drive /dev/hdc1 that I would like to show up on that applet. Any ideas?

Both Torsmo and Conky have configuration files located in your home directory. You'll most likely have to mod the config file to mount the extra volumes... Just look for the hidden config files in /home/dsl and use vi to edit away.
