If someone has an answer, I would appreciate it, as I do almost exactly the same as
Harry, although I am using an ATAPI Zip drive. I am the ONLY user of this
computer, so am logged on with Superuser privileges most of the time. I would like
to be able to run Win4Lin as superuser.

I have read the documentation and understand why win4lin root operation is
not permitted, and why in the general sense it would not be a good idea
normally.
My Question is: Since I operate as a user with superuser capability as the
norm and have for 4 -5 years now, is there a command that can be given to
start win or fwin in this mode? I am the ONLY user on my workstation so I am
not concerned with granting permissions to others. I do however, have a lot
of data generated over the years (mainly database and system level commands)
which are not available to me as just a "user" without root access. And yes,
with much effort I can make most of it available via chmod (which I have done
in some instances), but not all. A good example is my parallel port Zip
drive. When the iomega (linux) mount command is given for instance, it
overrides my linux permissions and mounts it as "root read/write/execute,
user r/x" instead of my linux permissions of "root read/write/execute, user
r/w". Consequently, I can "read" fine in win4lin but can't "write" to the
zip drive.
Attempts to solicited assistance from Iomega have fallen upon deaf ears.
Suggestions are appreciated.
Harry
