OpenSuSE 10.2 I try to mount/explore my Zip drive, USB always plugged in, and get this message: Method "Mount" with signature "ssas" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" doesn't exist A help center search for HAL returns stuff on 35.3 ACPI which doesn't seem to be much help. lshal returns: [ just the "zip" stuff ] udi =
