Don't use ppa, as that is for the very ancient drives and will give you the errors you are seeing. BTW, you shouldn't have to load any drivers from Iomega. All you need is what's already build into the kernel and you install the DOS utilities (IIRC). After you've done the modprobe imm, you should be set and ready to go. Make a directory for it such as /zipdrive or /mnt/zip and mount it up with an entry in your /etc/fstab: /dev/sda4 /zipdrive vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0 *Note: You will get errors on the modprobe imm if you don't have the drive connected when run. -- Shawn The difficult we do today; the impossible take a little longer. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
