Can you install Debian-linux from CDROM using a Mitsumi proprietary CDROM Drive? (The FX-001D?) Since the mcd device driver isn't offered in the installation routines, I couldn't figure out a way to do it. I was able to get Debian installed by copying the CDROM .deb files to a hard drive, then mounting the partition, but I couldn't get Debian to find the CDROM drive even after recompiling the kernel. I have been successful in getting slackware to find the CDROM, and have installed from the CDROM. Why this doesn't work is baffling, and I finally broke down and asked.
Thanks for the help. Fred Fred Ringwald 913-242-4829 2228 Labette Road [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ottawa, KS 66067-8977
