Hi,
Is there a way in Mdk 9.1 to mount a drive without su passwod?
So what should I do in order to let a user to mount a drive such as a
zip drive?
Thanks

zipdrives are a bit different, it depends on the age of the drive,
modprobe ppa
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip

these lines did it for me after creating a directory /mnt/zip and
giving averyone wr access, this is for a old paralled model.
