Dear friends:

Thanks to your help, I am making progress step by step. My next issue has to
do with my zip drive. When I try to mount it, I am told that I need to supply
the file system. Please see below. Would appreciate your help.
    

localhost:/home/sher# mount /dev/sda -t auto /media/usb0
    

                                                              -------
here  use whether vfat or something else
  

mount: you must specify the filesystem type
    

Dear L. V. Gandhi and friends:

Here is some more data:

localhost:/media/usb0# dmesg |tail
