Re: More questions

I dunno. If you are using X, it isn't such a good idea to leave
numlock on, as a lot of the older programs  will fail to function
properly if it is set. (Can anyone explain why this is, and also
how to fix it?)


> How do I get Linux to recognise my Zip drive?

Compile PPA support into the kernel (if it is parallel port). You will
find this under SCSI options. There are options for SCSI, PPA, and 
another parallel port Zip (not sure what it does - I use PPA). When
done, the zip drive _should_ be /dev/sda4. 

I believe there is a HOWTO packaged with RedHat too - so there
is prolly a howto on the web somewhere about the Zip drive.
If you need more help, email me off the list and I will be glad
to help.
