Hi,
I don't have a bug to report, but I'd like to send a tip for you.
Here, in Brazil, actually, the people are using so much Zip Drive's because
it's easy to work. Just load a module and mount the drive, like a normal
floppy.
Ok, but where KDE is in this case?
In KDE, is very useful the use of floppy and cdrom icons on the desktop.
I think that a icon for Zip Drive will be very useful too.
And now we have a problem.
If we create a icon to try to mount the Zip Drive, we'll receive several
errors messages:
1)mount: can't find /dev/sda4 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Here, I think isn't necessary put this information in theses files above
because in the command prompt a `mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip` works normally.
2)We need to insert a module before the mount, and remove the module after
the umount. I think that one more field in the properties/device isn't hard
to do and will solve the problem, using a insmod <user-define-module> mount
<user-define-like-actual> and after the use, rmmod <the-same-module> umount
<the-same-parameters>.
Here, is my ~/Desktop/zip.kdelnk

Here should be a line with the module to be loaded before mount e unloaded
after umount, like this:
Module=ppa
Well, my tip is this. I hope that help you in some way, always to get a
better KDE.
These information is all about KDE 1.1.2
Sorry for my really bad english :)
Cordially,
Tobias P. Santos
