Create a directory to which you want to mount the zip-drive. (obviously) I use /mnt/zip/. Then as root make sure the modules parport_pc and imm are loaded. You have to use 'su -' to become root, 'su' won't do. Then check with lsmod, the output should show something like: imm 10656 0 parport_pc 17476 1 If it doesn't (and it probably won't, at least it didn't for me) load the modules with modprobe: modprobe parport_pc modprobe imm (in that order, you'll get errors otherwise) I then added the following line to /etc/fstab: /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip vfat noauto,owner,users 0 0 A zip-drive always has - by default - one (and only one) partition the fourth which is why you need /dev/sda4. Then you can mount the drive with mount /mnt/zip. HTH btw, there should be a way of making your OS load the modules automatically at boot-time but someone will have to explain that in a little more detail 'cause I haven't figured that out yet. You can aad something* to /etc/modules.conf if I'm not mistaken but I don't know what exactly... Otherwise you'll have to load the modules every time after yyou've rebooted...
