USB zips
I'm considering purchasing a USB zip but wanted to know how well it will work in Linux. After you install Linux how will it be mounted. The system that I have now uses an IDE zip on the Secondary Master, so when it's mounted I use the driver /dev/hdc4. How do you mount the USB zip if supported?

On all three machines, my experience was identical with USB Zip250 drives: plug it in, a /zip250.0 directory is automagically created in the /mnt directory. /etc/fstab is automagically edited to include an appropriate line for the new drive. Absolutely fscking AMAZING!!! No user intervention what-so-ever!!! Just go to a terminal of your choice, enter mount /mnt/zip250.0 and your mounted an ready to go. Amazing!!

This really makes thing easier than the IDE zips. Best Regards, Art ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
re: USB zips
I've been using a USB 250 iomega zip drive with Redhat 7.2 without any trouble at all. I had to do nothing except plug the drive into the USB port and it was recognized. Works better with redhat than it does with a windoze machine (you gotta load some software before it'll work!) = Archie Benton [EMAIL PROTECTED] = ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
