For the record, I used a CDROM with my 286 with no problem, I used a SoundBlaster cd drive, but IDE and SCSI should work fine as well. There is really little reason to have a CDROM on a 286 though :) At this point, I don't know that any browsers are ported...even Lynx. And if there was, there's no networking yet, so you'd only be browsing local files. If you still interested, I'm sure someone else on the list can point you towards more information. Dan

Can I connect CDROM drives to those m/cs. OR Pl. suggest me a mailing list for my problem. Thanks in advance. Jitendra.

Linux on 486 without fdd/hdd
Hi there, I am a student and working on Linux related project. In my proposed setup I don't have hdd/fdd. I am just having CDROM drive and 16MB RAM, 486 PC. I am interested in booting linux from CDROM and run a browser like Netscape from the same CD. Pl. comment on this and would be delighted to receive few tips. (Pl. note I am not interested in network booting option for some reason.) Thanks in advance, Jitendra.
