Hi Thomas, Let's assume that your zip drive is /dev/hdb. To mount the filesystem on it, do: "mount /dev/hdb4 -t vfat /mnt" . Substitute your mount point for /mnt of course. Iomega likes to format there disks as the 4th partition for some reason. As for your ppp problem, do "lsmod". You will get a list of currently installed modules, if ppp is not one of them, you'll need to load it by hand with "modprobe ppp". If this doesn't work from /etc/rc.d/rc.modules (which I've seen with certain modules before), then add the modprobe command above to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local so that it runs every time you boot for sure. What kind of sound card do you have, and did you find support for it in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules? Yes, speakup 0.10a works with 2.2.19 with no patches. Hth.
