Well.. I tried everything I could think of...
Here's my fstab:
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/zip vfat user, noauto 0 0
When I try to mount the drive I receive the following error message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on dev/hdc1,
or too many mounted file systems.
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead
of some logical partition inside?)
Mounted I have /, /usr, /proc
Any ideas...

I don't know about what gnome does, but likely you need a something
like:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
in /etc/fstab (if it's not already there). And the mount point needs
to be a valid dir:
mkdir /mnt/cdrom (as root)

See the man page for 'xset' and look for DPMS settings ('xset -dpms'
???). Put the apropriate command in one of the X startup scripts in
your home dir. '~/.Xclients' is a good place. IIRC, this file needs
to be an executable script, in case you need to create it (chmod +x).
[Note, that I am not sure of how the default RH installation handles
all the X startup stuff since there are any number of ways to do this.
Creating this file may override existing defaults, and cause a bit of
trouble (maybe).]
