Greetings: Slackware 8.1.01 installs easily on our machines with an
IDE HD and IDE CD, booting the CD nicely and installing from the CD,
with the BIOS set properly..
However; the subject machine has an IDE 20gB HD and a __SCSI CD__,
with a BusLogic SCSI card, creating an insurmountable problem - s

Appreciate!!
