Ann, from a root console do 'modprobe ppa' (w/o quotes!) to install the ppa
module (needed for your zip).
Then you can check to see if it was installed by doing 'lsmod' (you should now
see the following in the list: parport_probe, parport_pc, ppa, parport).
If those are there, you're ready to mount the zip drive and use it!
(If not, you'll have to get and install the ppa module -- I don't remember where
I got it, but if you need it I can email it to you directly.)
Before you mount the zip, you need to create a mount point in the directory
(e.g., /mnt/zip). So, create the directory, then put a zip disk in the drive and
do the following
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 mnt/zip
That should get you going.
