[WinMac] hfsutils/KDE error.

Subject: [WinMac] hfsutils/KDE error.

I am trying to access Mac formated Zip disks at /dev/sda4 on an AMD powered
box with SuSE 7.3 Pro and KDE 2.2.1. I invoked "hmount /dev/sda4" from root,
exited the console, and clicked on the Zip drive icon on my KDE 2.2.1
desktop. The following error popped up:

"Could not mount device. The reported error was:
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified."

What am I doing wrong and how can I get HFS formatted Zip drives to mount
automagically on my desktop the same way I can with DOS/Win formatted Zip
drives? I have looked in the /etc/fstab and the setting is:

/dev/sda4       /media/zip      auto    noauto,user 0 0

Not sure how to read this. Is it set to auto or noauto? If it is is set to
auto and I have hfsutils installed, why won't it work they way I want?

I also tried with xhfs to /dev/sda4 but got the following message:

"Sorry, can't mount volume: error opening medium (Permission denied)."

Cheers,

Brian
