BTW, if you have any questions regarding Slackware, Slamd64, Slackintosh, or any other Slackware-based distribution, the following sub-forum on Linuxquestions.org is the official place for Slackware help:

Any question I've had regarding Slackware has already been answered for me there.

Make sure that you're in the following groups (You can use the KUser tool to add your user into the listed groups):
floppy
audio
video
cdrom
plugdev
Once you've done that, log out and log back in again. If that doesn't do it, restart (you shouldn't need to do this, but just in case do it if logging out and in doesn't work).

BTW, you can also use the "su" command to become root. Just type "su" and then provide the password for root. To leave root, type "exit" at the command prompt and you'll be back to your normal user.
If you want to make sure your HFS and HFS+ modules were loaded, use the "lsmod" command. Just typing "lsmod" will show you all the loaded modules. However, if you just want to see the HFS/HFS+ modules, pipe "lsmod" to "grep" for "hfs*":
BTW, you might find the following site useful. It's called the Rosetta Stone for Unix and it compares similar commands across various Unix operating systems. Just Command-click the ones you want and click "Draw Table".

As for the ZIP drive, make sure the modules are loaded. Do an "lsmod" and look for either "ppa" or "imm". The former is the module for the standard ZIP drive while the latter is for the Zip Plus. If they're not loaded, do the following as root (remember to "su" to root):
Then try and see if it will load.

Weird. OK, open up the rc.modules file in /etc/rc.d using nano (must be root). Hit Ctrl-W to find "Where Is" the name "ppa". If it finds it, uncomment the line for it so it loads the module on bootup. Do the same for "imm". Once you've uncommented the lines to load the ppa and imm modules, add the following two lines somewhere in that file:
Once you've done that, save the file and restart the Mac. Once you back at the desktop, insert the ZIP disk and see if it's detected.
Code:
/sbin/modprobe hfs
/sbin/modprobe hfsplus
