Here is my entire FSTAB: /dev/hda1 / ext2 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,nosuid,noauto,user,exec,codepage=850,nodev 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto iocharset=iso8859-1,rw,sync,nosuid,exec,user,noauto,nodev,codepage=850,unhid e 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdd /mnt/zip auto nosuid,exec,user,noauto,nodev 0 0
I see the ZIP drive line at the bottom, but it's quite different than the example you gave. I've modified it to the following: /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,sync,exec,codepage=850,noauto 0 0 Is this correct? How do I tell my system to use this new, edited fstab? --- =============================================================== Andrew Vogel: Manager of Professional Programs at the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy http://pharmacy.uc.edu (513)-558-3784 =============================================================== > -----Original Message----- > From: Ronald J.
