Hi Grant,

IT WORKS!!! (Not marvelling, but shouting this time) ). Well, superfloppy
was the answer. Dunno why, but 2.6 doesn't like partitions on zip disks
(whereas 2.4 does).

Solution:

mke2fs /dev/hdd

And then /etc/fstab:

/dev/hdd /zip ext2 noauto,user 0 0


Tried it in a few combinations, works like a charm.

Thanks!
