Um, small problem. I'm not using Supermount. Here is the relevant line
concerning my Zip drive in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdb4       /mnt/zip        auto    user,noauto     0 0

It will auto-read ext2 or vfat Zip carts. Just won't read partitions set to
anything other than 4. 

Whats the command to format a Zip cart and make it partition 4 at the same
time? Since factory Zip carts come preformatted this way, shouldn't everyone be
doing the same for consistency? ;-)

Thanks!
