Don't even bother to compile support for zip drives into the kernel. They have to be loaded modularly. Read http://howto.linuxberg.com/ptHOWTO/mini/ZIP-Drive and check out http://www.torque.net/~campbell/, you can grab the driver you need to compile from the second link. Recompile the kernel

The CD-Rom is the secondary slave because of where it is on the cable. You want your new hard drive to be the primary slave in the system. You do not want to move you CD-Rom to the Primary slave position. The position it is currently in is actually the best for future upgrades and additions o
