Help File Library: Mounting Your Zip Drive

Written By: Skamm

Skamm sent in these simple instructions for getting your zip drive mounted. Warning: this example is for Red Hat, but may easily work with other distributions as well.

Enter these commands in this order:
mkdir /mnt/zip
insmod parport
insmod ppa
mount -t msdos /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip

Don't use "insmod parport" if your version is pre-5.2

Here's Sensei's contribution :)

To use and check your zip, type:
cd /mnt/zip
ls -a

VOILA!
