Hello,

On RH9, when a CD is inserted, a nice icon pops up on my screen which I
can click. How do I do the same for ZIP disks (which have this ability
under XP, I might add).

Thanks,


Schewdent.

Is this an internal or external zip drive?

Hmm...., I'm rather surprised as RedHat 8.0/9.0 will recognize an internal
zip drive during the install or if it's added to the system later. What
does your /etc/fstab file look like?

Below are my RedHat 8.0/9.0
/etc/fstab files with & without the internal zip drives.

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
