You need to add a line like so to your /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0
To edit your /etc/fstab, I like to use `pico /etc/fstab` (not installed by default). Some others like `joe /etc/fstab`
That will make mounting the zip drive easier. You need to make sure that the folder /media/zip actually exists, if nor make it.
`ls /media` and make sure it shows the zip folder. If not, `mkdir /media/zip`
Do all this as root. Then you should be able to mount the drive with something like `mount /dev/sda4 /media/zip` Literally, "mount the filesystem you the device sda4 so I can access it at /media/zip".
There are shorter and longer invocations. See `man mount` and `man umount` for more info.

Ok Mark, I've entered the text (/dev/sda4...). How do I make it permanent? If I hitt ENTER, it just goes down a line. Sorry to be so dumb. -Joe
