I'm stuck as what to do regarding setting up (modifying) rules for udev.
I am working as root, as the prompt shows "#".
Here is where I am: I've mounted the zip drive - /media/zip100.0 - and
then issued pwd to know where I am and then the udevinfo command which
produced 59 lines of information.
linux:/etc/udev/rules.d # pwd
/etc/udev/rules.d
linux:/etc/udev/rules.d # udevinfo -p /sys/block/sda/sda4 -a |less
Not knowing where to add the information about the Zip Drive, I did an
ls to see possible choices. See the result of an ls.
linux:/etc/udev/rules.d # ls -l
total 76

There are 17 "rules" to choose from, and here is where I start to get
confused as to which one should I use, or should I create a new rule?
My SuSE Admin Guide says creating a new rule should not be necessary.
