Hi Brent
Firstly apologies all for using W'doze to reply but my linux box is
undergoing repairs at the moment.
To install your Zip drive, assuming its a parallel port version, do the
following:-
Place the following into /etc/conf.modules
modprobe lp
sleep 1
insmod ppa
(I also assume your printer is plugged through the zip drive)
Then edit your /etc/fstab directory and insert this line:-
/dev/sda4 mnt/zip vfat noauto,user 0 0
make a new directory under /mnt named /zip
Reboot the machine and you will see your printer and zip drive are detected,
otherwise mount /mnt/zip should work. If you are using X then its fairly
simple to add an icon to your desktop and mount / unmount from there.
Hope this helps
Regards
