Marcia [snip] Marcia....first, as root, create a mount point in your /mnt directory. For instance, in a console, type: mkdir /mnt/zip Then determine the device designation of your zip drive. If it's an IDE device it'll be hdx where x is the letter one higher than your last IDE hard drive. For instance, if you have 1 IDE hard drive it is hda and the zip will be hdb. Then, as root, edit /etc/fstab and add the line below: /dev/hdb4 /mnt/zip vfat user,noauto 0 0 after that then right-click your desktop and choose 'Create New' and then 'Floppy Device'. Name the new icon 'Zip' and in the 'device' section choose your zip device from the list (it reads your /etc/fstab file) '/dev/hdb4', set the mount point as /mnt/zip and the file system type as vfat (for the out-of-the-box formatted zip discs. That's all. :-) -- Alan
