i'm not sure if the situation is exactly the same as in my case, but since the switch from a 2.2 to the 2.4 kernel, i have to use a full mount command specifying the fstype to get the zip drive up, as in: mount -t<fstype (e.g. vfat or ext2)> /dev/sda4 /zip as opposed to previously using a simple mount /zip, even though the fstab entry for the /zip drive is auto /dev/sda4 /zip auto defaults,rw,users,noauto 0 0 i have ppa support complied into the kernel. ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
