Ways to put variables into zenity radiolist

Hey guys, i have got a problem...zenity is not being able to read my variables in its radiolist options.

as zenity needs a FALSE in front of a radiolist options, i have decided to ...

op=$(awk '{print "FALSE" " " $2} /etc/fstab)

$?=$(zenity --list --text "mount" --radiolist --column "choice" --column "mount points" $op); echo $?
however, i need to use the variable in $2 to mount filesystem, however with the FALSE word printed infront, i couldnt do so. im also not able to use if/else statement to make zenity know what options i choose

example : if [ "$?" = "$? ]; then
mount $op #it doesnt work as its like <mount FALSE /home>
fi

I don't understand what you are doing with:
Code:
if [ "$?" = "$? ]; then

But to do your mount you could do:
Code:
mount `echo ${op} | awk '{ print $2 }'`
