Re: debian 2.2 + kernel 2.2.18 + USB
Davi and others: I'm interested in the 250 MB ZIP USB that I acquired and use under Windows, but want to access it under Linux. I know about adding USB support to the kernel, but else must I do? Would someone point me to the right place to find how make this device work with Potato. RTFM is ok, if the right manual and where to find the manual are given. Nothing really :). Just load the apropriate modules. Then mount it with something like mount /dev/sda4 -t vfat /zip This is just an example and I don't have any other scsi disks. You have to select the forth partition (due to mac compatibility in the disks). If you formatted them ext2 it would obviously be different. Then just add whatever you want to /etc/fstab to simplify matters. I guess the grand total for the modules I would need would be... uhci, usbcore, usb-storage, fat, vfat. But then it all depends on how you compiled everything. HTH, jt

You might also want to check out Iomega.com. They actually have a small linux utility that offers *some* of the functions of IomegaTools. I haven't used it in awhile, so I don't remember if it was particularly useful, but the download is just a few KB, so it's worth looking at. -Rob On Mon, Dec 18, 2000 at 02:17:46AM +0100, John Travis wrote: Davi and others: I'm interested in the 250 MB ZIP USB that I acquired and use under Windows, but want to access it under Linux.

debian 2.2 + kernel 2.2.18 + USB
I have debian 2.2 installed on my host. I have downloaded the kernel.2.2.18.tar.gz and I have compiled it with USB support so as to use my USB modem on Linux. But the '/sbin/hotplug' does not appear. Maybe, is there a .deb file which I could download and install directly which keeps all the scripts and tools what I need to set up USB support on my host?. Any comment?. Davi
