mounting a 250zip as non-root ???


I have a 250zip drive which I can mount as root in terminal and see the files and local user, but I want to be able to mount this drive and delete move etc as local user.

What do I need to do to be able to do this?

Cheers

You can add an entry to your /etc/fstab to allow users to mount and unmount. Search the forums for "mount AND user", and you should come up with a number of pages of threads discussing it.
