Whether I boot up on disk or do a HD install, Knoppix finds all my drives except my internal Iomega Zip 100 drive. I've searched this forum and saw posts that seem to indicate that I'm not alone, and others have had these issues before. FYI - based on some of the guidance I've seen from those other posts, I've run fdisk, and I think what I'm seeing is that fdisk "sees" the zip drive as dev/sda, which doesn't seem right to me (on Mepis Linux, Mepis finds this drive as /dev/sda4).

I'm pretty new to the Linux world, and am trying to decide between Mepis and Knoppix as my distro of choice. Mepis has installed bug free on my system. Knoppix "sees" the drive during boot, but does not create an icon for the zip drive on my desktop. Other than that, I prefer the Knoppix set up for ease of use.

Has anyone come up with an easy fox for this that a newbie like me could implement?
