Thank you very much. I wasn't even thinking about my usb zip drive, but
followed your directions and it was working in no time.
took me a minute to figure out that it is sda4 on my machine also. I guess
this is the standard dev?
Just out of curiousity, how do you format a zip with ext2? Diskdrake
defaults to vfat.
Much thanks.
