As you can probably guess from the subject, I need to know how to mount an external ZIP 250 USB drive.

Thanks!

Hello, this is my first post so bear with me. I had the same problem so I went searching. I found a string and entered it as root. It mounted my USB 250 ZIP and is browseable. Type "modprobe usb-storage" It worked with SuSE 7.2. Of course I am sure you would like that command to run on bootup. Since I am a super newbie I am working on it. Hope it works for you.

I'm not sure how to use the modprobe stuff but here's another possibility.

Log in as root, find your /etc/fstab file.

Add the line:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/Zipdirname auto user,defaults 0 0

That *should* work.
