Hiya,
I'm running an internal 100Mb Zip disk and found the how-to documentation
very helpful. I also found some material after doing a search on
Alta Vista.
I put this line into my /etc/fstab file:
/dev/hdd /mnt/zip auto user,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 1 1
This detects what filesystem type you are using automatically (linux or dos
disks) and doesn't try to mount at boot time. Change hdd to your device.
I mount it using
mount /mnt/zip
When you are finished you can unmount in the usual way or just type:
eject zip
and it will umount AND eject your disk. Also works with CD.
Enjoy!!
