Ahhh - sorry! I'll write up a little mini-howto tonight when I get sat down with my Linux box.

Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com message.footer Content-Type: text/plain Content-Encoding: 8bit Thanks for your trouble! My problem is that I can mount the drive manually, but not automatically. The system does not seem to recognise sda4 unless I run ppa. Also the icon on the desktop does not save the properties that I re-set each time. (Device seems to be set at /mnt/zip which doesn't work - if I set the Device to be /dev/sda4 then the icon works but it won't save the setting!)
