I have a friend at work who has an older i486 and wants to install 
Linux onto it, perhaps to run Apache or something.  The problem is that 
he doesn't have the CD ROM driver for it.  I know that the IDE driver 
is built into the Linux kernel (or I think it is), but his is a SCSI 
model -- it's a Digital Celebris model, or something like that.

Since he can't use the CD ROM drive, he can't install Linux by CD.  We 
found a floppy-based distro called DLX 
(<http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/usr/h93/h9301726/dlx.html>), which I was 
thinking could get Linux up and running, but how to get him the SCSI 
CD-ROM driver?  Once the CD drive works, we can just install a regular 
distribution or something.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,


Erik
