Here's what you need:
mkdir /mnt/zip
mkdir /mnt/cdrw
vi /etc/fstab
then add:
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw iso9660
ro,user,noauto,nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/zip auto
rw,user,noauto,nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0
(if those lines happen to wrap in the mail, it should be two full lines)
You should now be able to:
mount /mnt/cdrw
or
mount /mnt/zip
to read (and write, in the case of the zip drive) from them. To write
to the CD burner, you'll need to investigate cdrecord or one of the GUI
tools that interface with it.
