Larry, The IDE modules are in place. I am booting from an IDE CDROM. I checked the user guides but only saw how to boot from the ide device which is not what I really want. I like the security of the CDROM being read only. The user guide has you create the partition as an MSDOS partition for booting then uses Minix or tmpfs for the ram drive it actually runs from. To keep the samba config simple I would like the drive to be a Linux partition.
