Seeing the posts about Zip drives prompted me to resume trying to mount my parallel port zip drive. I searched the archives and... Viola!! I found the appropriate information.. modprobe ppa mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zipdrive -t vfat Question is... After adding mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zipdrive -t vfat to etc/fstab, do I need to tell modprobe ppa to run on every bootup, or is it a one time deal? If I need to run it every time, what is the "autoexec" for Linux? Thanks, Bryan
