Firstly, try mounting your zip drive with Mandrake 7's supermount utility. My
parallel port zip drive is currently set up in fstab as
/mnt/zip /mnt/zip supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/zip 0 0
I haven't tried this (I haven't needed to), but I vaguely remember that you can
replace the filesystem part

Hi Paul. You did say (in an earlier message) that I could try another
line in /etc/fstab, in addition to the regular vfat line, right? Some
thing like:
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zipvfat user,noauto0 0
/dev/hdd1

I've got a very similar problem with my LS120, I can only access ext2 formats
as user, need to be root to access vfat or msdos. I suspect that it is
something to do with vfat (and msdos) files having no ownership permissions
which could lead to security issues if users had access to vfat files.
