I should also point out that those are left-overs from the old INSTALL
page. They are under:
=== Manual Drivers Loading
The following section is added unmodified from the original document. I
don't really agree with it, though
This is nice for manually testing your installation. The problem with
that is that it tends to break on next reboot :-)
Older versions of qozap had issues with multiple runs of ztcfg. From
what I understnd, those issues have been resolved in recent versions.
This also reduces the level of voodoo required and allows easier
scripting.

In this specific case I believe modprobe would have worked as well. Not
really sure.

Because qozap was not yet installed onto the system directory. Normally
you'd just run 'modprobe qozap' and it would also pull zaptel with it.

An alternative for manual testing.
You forgot to mention /etc/modules on a Debian system, BTW.
