I believe I'm using supermount, or whatever came in the 7.2 dist. I've decided to umount anyway, just to be safe. The image of a zip drive flying across the room is wonderful. -- Regards Mike Hodder

I recall a year or so back that then-modules (correct term?) for zip drives ran, but not if you had a printer hooked up to the drive's backside. I now discover that if on ML72 (HP Pavilion) I configure my printer, Konquerer hangs up when I try to access the zip drive. Does rule still apply, or is

Hello: I have an internal (IDE) Zip drive in my box. It shows up during the booting process, but I can't seem to access it when I'm actually in linux. All my hardrives, CD-Roms, and floppies show up on the desktop. Is there a way to get the Zip to automatically show up there as well? Thanks,
