Hello,
I would like to attach my zip drive (//) with Redhat 5.1.
But I'm a beginner. So if you could explain me all the steps (with
very good explanations).
Thanks you

Not sure what you mean with "pot //" ... but if you are using RH 5.1,Quote:> I would like to attach my zip drive (//) with Redhat 5.1.

1) Log in as root
2) mkdir /mnt/zip
3) Put a zip disk into the zip drive (try at first one that was formated
under Win95 and that has some Win files on it).
4) mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
5) cd /mnt/zip and then ls -l
Did it work? If not, then I believe you have to compile the support for
the ppa driver into the kernel or something like that. However, for me,
this worked right out of the box. Thank you RH!

I'm trying to get my parallel port zip work. When I installed RH5.2, the
autoprobing can't find my zip drive (with disk on). So I had to proceed,
and never got my zip work.
