Just to let you know I have a Iomega ZipCD 650 cd writer drive
and I am using mdk 7.2.
For informative purposes, the drive is recognized by this distro
upon installation.
It does work in this distro, but currently I am having newbie problems
getting to mount the cdrom drive and the floppy drive, the problem
mostly is due to supermount, which many have recommended that
I remove from the fstab, but as newbie I don't know exactly what to do.
This supermount is also affecting my floppy the same way.
I have not been able to access cdrom or floppy on my own yet. However
if there is a program, like cdburning prog or like the makebootfloppy prog,
the drives are mounted and work through the program.
All I know now, as a newbie, is that this "supermount" thingy is a
pain in butt, and I am having a time dealing with it.

Subject: [newbie] O.K. here's my problem
Just installed 7.2 and have the following problems:
1) Can't access fd0. I get the following: "Can't enter directory /mnt/floppy"
This wasn't a problem under 7.0. It will let me format floppies though.
2) I've got a Zip drive connected to the computer. Works fine under Windoze
but when I try to install it under LM 7.2 I get the following error msgs for
ppa and imm:
modprobe -v imm

3)I've got an ActionTec 56K PCI modem installed and I have to type the
following every time I want to get on line:
setserial /dev/modem uart 16550A port 0xdc00 irq 11
I have it as the last line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local but it doesn't init the modem
This also, wasn't a prob. in 7.0
Now a question:
Has anyone tried using the ZIP CD 650 cd rewritable and the USB version of
the ZIP 100 drive in 7.2?
Any help will be greatfully appreciated.
