Hi Civileme...can I butt in here? Please further my 'Nix education. <grin>

Why does he have to mknod here? I've seen this kind of reply before to/from
other users and I'm afraid I just don't understand it. I'm using v8.1 and
supermount (of course) is off. My Zip icon under KDE wouldn't work either, but
it was a matter of right-clicking on the Zip icon, choosing properties, and
pointing it to /dev/hdd4 instead of /mnt/zip. Can't he just do the same thing?
If not, whats different under his setup as compared to mine? I've got an Atapi
Zip drive as well.

Thanks for imparting your worldly sage advice upon this blundering fool, O
enlightened one! <lol>
