[newbie] ATAPI ZIP

[John Connell]

Please help me! I *need* to copy a whole bunch of downloaded files, rpm's etc to my ATAPI Zip drive, before my system crashes completely. It would save me a lot of time that I don't have to download them all again. Please reply before I have to do a reinstall!   I *do not* know how to do this procedure, I need some one to walk me through it, please treat me as a "Linux retard" as if you were telling someone who knew absolutely nothing about Linux.   I do know some things, but for the life of me cannot figure this out. I have done the following, which allows me to mount and unmount it as a vfat filesystem. Have also put an icon on my desktop which allows me to mount and unmount like the cd and floppy. Thanks, John Connell   #cd /mnt/ # mkdir /zip   Also added the following line to my /etc/fstab file-- /dev/hdd4     /zip     vfat     user,noexec,nodev,nosuid,rw,noauto     0 0
