There are a couple of good sources out there - have you tried Mandrakeuser? Or
going to google and searching for "linux howto list"? There is one page, or
more dedicated to nothing but lists for Linux...

I'm not sure.

I'm going to send my /etc/fstab zip entry - I'm using v9.0 of Mandrake and its
SCSI emulated:
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip auto
codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,noauto,nosuid,umask=0,user,nodev 0 0
All one line, of course...
Even if I was still running it as pure ATAPI, the only change I think is that
/dev/sda4 would show up as /dev/hdb4 on my setup.
Hope this helps!
