That depends on what filesystem the zip disks you use are going to be. If
it's from a PC, use dos. If it's from another Linux machine, use ext2. If
it's from a Mac, use hfs (make sure the disk is NOT HFS+, it won't be able
to read it). ISO9660 is the standard for CD-ROMs, you can't have an ISO9660
Zip disk (I'm pretty sure, but not 100% sure of that)
You may want to set it to auto detect the filesystem if you are going to use
zip disks from multiple OSs.
