Related?, sure is, that helps me understand why it is missing "This means the the maintainer no longer felt that Iomega Zip drive support was still useful for Debian users."

And helps me to guess that if I was to install Squeeze, then ppa would be installed. Now I can hunt down a Squeeze set of ISOs.

6.0 (Squeeze) 	6 February 2011 	11 	≈ 29,000 	2.6.32 	19 July 2014

Thanks heaps,

George.
