mount and umount commands

I recently built a new machine and put slack 8.1 on it and I'm
having some problems with the mount/umount commans as a
normal user. man 8 mount says to:

user Allow an ordinary user to mount the file system. The
name of the mounting user is written to mtab so that he can
unmount the file system again. This option implies the
options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by
subsequent options, as in the option line
user,exec,dev,suid).

users Allow every user to mount and unmount the file system.
This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev
(unless overrid- den by subsequent options, as in the option
line users,exec,dev,suid).

I have everything the way it was with slack 8, but now when a
user umounts a zip or a floppy or anything, I get this:

nathan@deadsoul:~$ mount /mnt/zip
nathan@deadsoul:~$ df
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% 
Mounted on
/dev/hda1              4254632   2676500   1358516  67% /
/dev/hda3             12661560   2126920   9881080  18% /usr
/dev/sda1                95179        13     90252   1% 
/mnt/zip
nathan@deadsoul:~$ umount /mnt/zip
umount: /dev/sda1: not mounted
umount: /mnt/zip: must be superuser to umount
nathan@deadsoul:~$ 

I can't write anything to my floppies or zips unless I am
root. And I can't unmount anything either. Got any ideas?
Thanks, nathan
