I don't know if this is your answer, but when I was VERY NEW in Linux, (
I'm still new, but not as bad! ),
I installed Mandrake 5.2 or 5.3. I had never gotten my zip working and
it was the parallel port version.
One install, I happened to have a formatted zip disk in the drive and
Mdk recognized it. Upon the next install, there was no zip in the drive
and it did NOT install..
Try to put a disk in the drive before you power up, then try the
install!
Hope this could be your answer..
