Once you have that installed, plug the ZIP drive into the USB port. You can access the disk as /dev/sda . Standard ZIP disks use partition 4, so you should be able to do mount /dev/sda4 /mnt Don't forget to umount the disk before removing it or the drive.

E.g., tr '\r' '\n' <mac-file.txt >unix-file.txt Other files should be copied as-is. If you want to mount Mac-formatted ZIP disks, you need a few options in the kernel. HFS file system, and probably Macintosh partition support. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ `I want quality, not quantity.
