What's wrong with following the ZIP FAQ?
All it involves is insmod'ing the ppa modules and mounting the drive. I did
it on my laptop, running Mandrake 6.5 about a week ago, without a problem.

Can I do this through "update" ? The zip drive was connected through
a
switch box which was set to printer when I installed, (my previous
windoze printer wouldn't piggyback off the zip drive). I don't
really
want to reinstall, although it would not be too much of a hardship
as I
only did it last night, and its much faster than 7.1!
Thanks
Gordon
