Have you tried the steps mentioned in Mandrake's Installation Guide, chapter 8: After Installation? The guide goes: in Terminal (as root)...do # modprobe ppa # mkdir -p /mnt/zip # ln /dev/sd4 /dev/zip # echo '/dev/zip /mnt/zip vfat noauto, user 0 0' \ >>/etc/fstab This works for mine and still is. The Guide also pointed out how to put a link to the zip drive on the desktop. 1. right-click on the desktop and select New - File System Device. 2. in the New File System Device: box, put in Zip.kdelnk 3. click OK 4. on the KFM window, click on Device tab. 5. Put in /dev/zip in the Device box. 6. Put in /mnt/zip in the Mount Point box. 7. Put in vfat in the Filesystem box. You can change the icon as well there. That's it. Hope it helps you.
