I have a backpack cdrom but it fails to recognize it. any info would be appreciated. I've never installed Mandrake but if its anything like standard Redhat, it'll only recognise standard ATAPI CD-ROM drives by default. If you want to use a parallel port CD-ROM drive (I'm assuming thats what the Backpack is, if its PCMCIA the process is similar) you can either copy all the files to the hard drive and do a hard drive install or you can hunt through the net and find a Linux boot disk that'll load the right drivers for the Backpack. I recall being able to get a Red Hat install through a parallel Backpack unit working on an old Compaq Contura 486 using a setup boot disk I downloaded, unfortunately I can't remember where it was ... IIRC I started my search at www.linuxdocs.org so that may be a place to start. Hope this helps! - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

This is especially useful on busy lists; nobody appreciates having to wade through multi-MB multi-thousand message digests every few days. So the autoresponse I mentioned would be large enough to warrant another digest (after all, it /contains/ a digest).

It is barely readable, fragmented and full of black goop. Does anyone have a (30,40,?) 50,60 or 70 that is beyond repair in another department, (like dead motherboard), that I can use in order to replace the screen...? Reasonably priced... of course... sobs. I know you can get new LCDs, but they are priced in the £300+ area, which puts them at more expensive than a fully working second hand L50! I would really, really appreciate any help.
