do the following as root
1) create a symlink between /dev/sda4 and /dev/zip
ln -s /dev/sda4 /dev/zip
2) make a mount directory
mkdir /mnt/zip
3) add the following line to /etc/fstab
/dev/zip /mnt/zip auto user,noauto,nosuid,nodev 0 0
4) add the following lines into /etc/modules
#
# usb stuff
#
usbcore
usb-uhci
usb-storage
As a user, change create an icon on your desktop for the zip drive
right click on the desktop
select create new -> floppy
change the mounted icon & name on the general tab
select device /dev/zip on the device tab
change the unmounted icon on the device tab
click OK
Prior to first use, you may need to modprobe for usbcore, usb-uhci,
usb-storage as root, if the modules were not loaded at boot time
