It worked!!! :-D

My /etc/conf.modules is empty .... could that explain things?

A friend of mine told me that in order to mount the zip-drive I had to do
"insmod ppa" first. When I got the new harddrive and RH6.1 it did not work
anymore, so this friend told me to use modprobe instead. That did not work
either. I think I also tried "insmod parport" today in desperation ...
Sorry, I really don't know what I am doing, although I think I understand
it a little better now...

Thanks for all the explanations! And for the help of course ...
