I had the same problem : two options need to be turned on in order to
allow ADFS reading. The first one is the ADFS partition system. The
second one, the filesystem itself, can be turned on only if you accept
in the beginning of the configuration script <experimental> features of
arm-linux (that are not guaranted to work).

I succeded in installing a ZIP drive, to my knowledge, arm-linux is the
only way to acces a ZIP drive on RiscPC !
My question is : Since the default parallel port on RiscPC is at 0x278,
why is the default value of the PPA driver set to 0x378, as if we were
on a PC ? Also, it might be interesting to add in the FAQ an other
reason why the driver might not load : it happens when you turn on the
printer driver in the kernel, which then allocates the parallel port for
itself in the very beginning of the boot procedure, preventing the PPA
driver to use it ...

Finally, for those interesting in compiling c++ programs, I found and
empirical solution : I use libg++-2.5.3, with "gcc" compiler command
(and not "g++" or "c++") with the library options "-lg -lstdc++" at the
end of the command line. The order is important ! it prevents conflict
between iostream and stdio functions ... With these options, I could
compile the wxWindows library with its example, and all of them worked!
What is the difference between "libc.a" and "libg.a" ? When I tried
"-lc" instead of "-lg", only half of the examples worked ... (when I say
work or not, I don't mean at compile time, in any cases it compiles
perfectly, but at execution time) And when I used the usual way, that is
using the "g++" command (which is equivalent I think with having the
library options "-lstdc++ -lc", in the reversed order), none of the
example worked ...

Vincent.
