I'm not shure monting it in the kernel is a good idea because it blocks the
// port and it can't be used any more for printing. At least that happened
to me. Secondly, there is a zipdriver on the Red Hat CD. Actually you have
to install a SCSI device and choose the ppa driver. Seems it's an old
driver not very performant, but it installs easely and avoids bullshit &
compilation of the new one. And to be honest, I didn't "suffer" from it's
poor performance: It worked very well.
Zoki.
