Folks, I have been lurking here almost from the beginning of the list. You are a great group. I realize this question is only peripherally related to KDE, but I hope you can help anyway. How can I get my system to recognize my external Iomega Zip drive? I have read the SuSE Help topics on mounting file systems, "using Zip floppies" and the "Iomega Zip Drive" and this has not been very helpful. I have added the following lines to my fstab file: /dev/sdb /zip ext2 rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sdb /zip msdos rw,user,noauto 0 0 but when I try to "mount zip" from Konsole, it complains that it can't find zip in fstab or mtab. When I type "mount /zip", it says /dev/sdb is "not a valid block device." Any help much appreciated! -- Mike McCallister ProTek Writing Services workingwriter@prodigy.net "Translation from the Geek a specialty" Phone: (303) 554-7533 Fax: (248) 282-0532
