Re: Kernel 2.2.9 and Iomege Zip drive
Hello,
I just have tried what you suggested below but without success. The
ppa module is not automatically loaded when I issue the mount
command. At the end, of this message you will find a log of the
command I have issued.
Can you tell me what I have forgotten?
Thank you for your work on Debian,
Chris
