usb zip drive
hey,
i have a 250mb usb zip drive and i need instructions on how to install it in redhat 7. i've been using linux for a few years, but i'm just a home user so i need real down-to-earth, easy instructions. thanks |
Depends if Red Hat has USB mass storage by default or not.
If it does, you just need to create a mount point (/mnt/zip (?)). mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip with a disk in to mount. umount /mnt/zip before removing the zipdisk. If Red Hat does not have USB mass storage by default you will need to add a few kernel modules. |
eh?
how do i create a mountpoint?
|
Use the "mkdir" command. A mountpoint can be any convenient (empty) directory.
mkdir /mnt/zip would create a directory for your mountpoint. Red Hat 7 is pretty old. It may not have good USB support. The "lsmod" command should show if you have any usb modules in your kernel. |
