[newbie] Tape Streamer

[Alan Dunford]

Hi,

Am having a problem configuring the software for my Iomega internal tape 
streamer.  The device is connected correctly and I can force it to write 
and read tapes.

However, before it will work (in fact before it will recognise that 
there is a tape in the drive itself), I need manually to install modules 
as follows:

insmod ftape
insmod zftape

and it works fine.

ftape.o is shown in the modules list as unused but zftape.o is not 
included.

Would someone please tell me how to handle these modules so that I avoid 
this manual operation and just can click on the mount/unmount tape 
button for the tape to spring into life.  It is no doubt somewhere in 
the documentation but I cannot find it.

BTW congratulations to Mandrake on a very nice set of packages and the 
easiest of Linux installation routines I have met.

Thanks for any assistance offered.
