Hmm. First of all, I think (anyone jump in here and help me!) that you
should really use vfat instead of msdos, because vfat will support long
filenames, and msdos won't. (in your /etc/fstab entry).
Which version of Mandrake are you using? 7.0 or 7.1? You need to add a
new device, either by right-clicking on the desktop in 7.0, or right-
clicking in a window on v7.1. It should be named something like:
Zip.kdeink
Which will actually reside in your /home/user/desktop directory.
You also need to go to /mnt and creat an empty directory called Zip, so
you wind up with /mnt/zip. I did this manually, from a shell, and as
superuser (su/root).
