mounting a zip disk as knoppix user

[Dave_Bechtel]

--Also create/change the /etc/fstab entry for the zip drive:

/dev/sda4 /mnt/zippy auto defaults,noauto,noatime,users,rw 0 0

--Then you can umount the drive as root, and try ' mount /mnt/zippy ' as knoppix user.

If you can see your files as root but not as a normal user, you likely have a problem with permisions. If you want to make all the files on the disc readable, writeable, and executable by users other than root than try this (as root).

chmod -R 777 /mnt/zip

You should be able to access your files then.
