Another point. I did read the /usr/share/doc/howto stuff on my Zip drive issue; they referred to ziptool. I found a source version of it on the Net, downloaded it via YAST2, which came up automatically (I let this happen without virus checking, like a fool). I run the commands and still nothing happens. I also downloaded something from Iomega called Iomegaware, and it made some obscure references to putting something into the kernel before the software would work. This I don't know how to do. I've run insmod ppa, and it won't take. I've run modprobe imm, modprobe ppa, and modprobe vfat. Modprobe ppa generates errors relating to insmod failure. The other two modprobe commands just return me to the command prompt. I modified /etc/fstab using Vim, and I now have a cute little /mnt/zip icon that just blabs back at me saying "No medium found". There is a usable zip disk in the zip drive, and as far as I know it isn't password protected (it isn't password protected under Windows 2000, and I can't even access it under Linux). It's been a source of frustration.
