[sdiy] embarrassing noob needs to mount some pots

[Horton]

There are so many basic knowledge things out there that are just taken
for granted by the computer-brain electronics wizards, so for a new
hobbyist there are no real guides or 101-style information.

I'm in the middle of a project and suddenly I need to mount a punch of
pots and switches into a typical plastic project enclosure. I have no
idea where to begin! What's up with the nuts, and that little tab
sticking out of the pot body? Should I ground each pot to the metal in
the case in addition to the ground bus on the PCB? How? What size
drill bit do I use to make the holes, and how do I secure the pot body
against the frame of the enclosure anyway? I need all this basic info.

Ideas? Tutorials? Instructables?
