That's funny, I just mounted the zip w/o the -t msdos, and it still mounted fine. Am I playing Russian Roulette by doing that?
Also, I assume I can create a Linux fs on a zip disk - and I assume that since we can squeeze 1.6meg from a regular floppy, the same could be true with squeezing extra space from the Zip floppy. Anyone have any experience with this? I wish to create a backup disk for all the programs I download (the dos format truncates the names - and I'd rather store Linux files on a Linux file system) Mike You wrote: > > > When i do this it asks for the file system type? > > mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip > > /mnt is a directory with no files.
