------------------
You're on the right track. As root try "mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4
/mnt/zip".
HTH,
Jacob
-----------------
Nope I get:
/home/kyle# /bin/mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd4,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
I'm still stumped....(but thanks for the help-at least I'm not being stupid)
