I have installed many SCSI systems (including the one that I'm using right now) with potato CD #1, which I assume has a similar configuration. I've done the same with several IDE systems, but I'm not in touch with IDE stuff enough to know whether it is considered recent. I absolutely agree that a choice on CD 1 would be superior, especially since it would make it possible to have the choice of a 2.4 kernel while only using one CD. But I think it would be even better to make a high-quality release release according to aj's tentative schedule, rather than a minimally-tested release (possibly much) later. -- - mdz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
