i've no experience using zip drives in linux. people have said it's a breeze,
especially the parallel zip. this document should tell you everything you need:
http://howto.linuxberg.com/LDP/HOWTO/mini/ZIP-Drive.html
and as for rpm, a simple
rpm --help
man rpm
should give you more options than you'd ever want.
i cast ye to the docs!
