Iomega Zip Drive icon on desktop???

[GarbledSquirrell]

How can I get an icon for my Zip Drive on my desktop in KDE 2 like the icons for cdrom and floppy?

Thanks

i think if u right click in your desktop u will see a drop down with what u should be looking for just a guess.
newbie here :)

once you make a shortcut like you do for the cdroms then you can go into properties and choose another icon as it has a whole lis tof them.

You'll find all the information you need in the Zip drive howto over at linuxdoc.org.

Just to give you an idea... know that you:

- Need to get your system seeing the zip drive (i.e. modprobe ppa if it's a parallel port zip drive).
- Create entries under /mnt (or wherever) and /etc/fstab so it will continue to see it through reboot after reboot, and....
- Create an icon on your desktop linking to /mnt/zip (or wherever you want to put it). Configuring your zip drive for "supermounting" is nice, too.

Good luck!
