On some hardware, IDE cd-roms are not auto-dectected properly when you boot the machine. It is just possible that this is your problem (it certainly was mine!) You can fix this by using the boot-prompt argument "hd[abcd]=cdrom" when you boot linux. (You can do this from the rescue disc: rescue root=/dev/yourrootpartition hdc=cdrom. Alternatively you can do it with loadlin or put it in your lilo.conf) HTH! Hugh ========================================================================== Hugh C.
