It depends on how Zip _media_ has been formatted, there is no way to know it in advance. You can create any partition (not always partition 4) or do not create any partition and use the whole media. You could just as well create file system on /dev/hda instead of partitioning it. Having some tool to figure out the correct partition table on Zip drive and mount it correctly would be great of course. Actually it may even be possible ... devfs + up-to-date updfstab or diskdrake. -andrej
