Hi all (again)

Here's my situation. I want to access my ZIP drive in RedHat, so I right click on GNOME's desktop, click Devices, and select "ZIP". This seems to mount the ZIP drive.

But before I do all that, I can't access it when typing /mnt/zip into an address bar. ALSO: /dev/hdb4 is treated as a file, instead of a drive (hdb4 is the ZIP drive)

IS IT POSSIBLE to have Linux "auto-mount" the ZIP when I insert the media?
