AW: CDRom and "zip" drive don't mount
I'm a newbie and seem to be hooked on Linux....
I had exactly the same question come up last night on my newly installed
system.
My question is: how come is this all so complicated? When I shove a Knoppix
CD into my system it mounts almost everything (except the zip drive)
automatically. I don't think it would be unreasonable to expect a newly
installed system to list all data devices it finds and ask me whether I want
to mount them. Or not??
BTW try to find the line
"/dev/hdb4 /zip auto rw,user,noauto 0 0"
which I need to mount my zip drive in the documentation. I couldn't find it
in the instalation manual, or was I looking in the wrong places?
But I'm learning...
