Hi again, I'm fine tuning my fstab for devices and permissions that I want to use, and I'm looking for clarification of a couple points that don't seem to be detailed in the fstab or mount man pages nor in my unix and linux books:
The vanilla SuSE 7.3 install on my Mac PowerBook (PPC) contains a line in /etc/fstab for /dev/fd0. Well, Macintoshes haven't shipped with floppy disk drives for years now, but I do have a swappable zip drive. So, 1) does fd0 strictly mean floppy disks or can that generically be used for zip disks, too? 2) if there's any value in adding lines to /etc/fstab for Mac and PC formatted zip disks, can I call them special devices of my own choosing such as /dev/hdc1 and /dev/hdc2 or perhaps /dev/hdb? See, I'm unclear on the rules of naming devices, basically. 3) if I set up zip devices and they work, is it still inadvisable to remove the fd0 entry? (I'm new enough to *nix that I'm timid about adding things to this file without being certain of the consequences ahead of time :0) Thank You, --Michael ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
