Hmmmm so maybe we need say...... a generic ATAPI IDE CDROM driver
installed in the config sys along with the handy
1. Windows
2. Linux
boot menu?
personally, i don't use linux enough to enjoy (??) wasting an entire
partition for it.
I liked the idea of being able to squirrel away files on that drive as
well.....
Plus, it's just so kewl. heheh much better than winlinux2000.... what a pile
of turds that is... ehehehe
