zip drive

[Roy Nickelson]

hi,
how do you determine the correct mount point I have a directory caloled /zip
but when I try to mount the drive as follows
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /zip

I get the error that says /dev/sda4 is not a valid block device.
The zipdisk is one that I normally use under windows.

Hi, Roy.
Yes, the zip drives will work with Red Hat 9, but you will need the correct
mount point and a place to mount  your zip in to.
For example:
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
 Also you need the correct kernel modules loaded or else it won't work
correctly.
