Your CDROM drive doesn't work from *within the installed operating system* (and this point is important). This doesn't mean that the BIOS can't see it and that the kernel on the rescue CD won't be able to access it. There is still value in burning an installation CD of Lenny, trying to boot it, and seeing what works. -- Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
