I'm not sure if your supermount line is correct or not, I stopped using supermount 1/2 day after I started using it in 7.0 ... It gave me constant problems when using VMware :( Anyway, it's easy enough to create a link in ~/.gnome-desktop to the mount point of the zipdrive. In my case: ~/.gnome-desktop/ZipDrive -> /mnt/zip (symbolic link) Then in /etc/fstab: /dev/zip /mnt/zip auto user,noauto,nosuid,exec,nodev 0 0 BTW, in my case: /dev/zip -> hdd4 (/dev/hdd4 ,that is) Now, you should be able to right-click on the desktop icon for this link, and mount is one of the options. Actually, just double-clicking the destop icon automatically mounts the zip-drive (only when there's a zip floppy in the drive, of course). Once the zip is mounted, and you right click on the destop icon, eject should also be an option (which by way of the "eject" command, should unmount & eject the floppy). Sounds to me like you're somehow using the parallel port kernel module (ppa.o) for the Iomega Parallel port drive. I would do a search and find what file is calling out ppa (possibly /etc/modules.conf or /etc/conf.modules), and get rid of that line, 'cause you don't have the parallel port Zip, you have the ATAPI internal version.
