Amanda: The fact that you want to use a zip drive is a mattor of support being compiled in your kernel for that device. To mount you should specify the filesystem, source device and mount point. I don't have a zip drive, but I do have an orb---somewhat similar. My orb is a scsi device and gets /dev/sda5 as it's the only scsi drive on my portable. At the office I have a scsi hard disk and a scsi orb, so my orb at the office becomes /dev/sdb5. The mount point, of course, is whatever directory you want the filesystem from that media to show up in. So, I have /mnt/orb for that. Thus, if my orb is formatted with the linux ext2 filesystem, I might say: mount -t ext2 /dev/sda5 /mnt/orb Or, if it's FAT32 (for some silly reason), at the office I would say: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb5 /mnt/orb -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina@afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
