[olug] mounting my zip drive

[mesc]

This sounds like it might work for me,_unfortunately_ I had to reboot mandrake (it's been acting funny since I installed it yesterday) and now halfway through the bootup it halts and ask for my
rootpassword for maintence.No biggie usually but it does this during a graphical bootup screen and there's no place to enter the root password.If I can't get in my box I may have to  reinstall if I can
get into it I'll try that and let you know how it goes.

            Thanks again,Gary Martin
