Folks,

I'm attempting to install Redhat Linux 6.2?, from the nospin group, to
an old AST Ascentia series A laptop. Win 95b, Pentium I, maxed out RAM,
1.4 gig hd. Of course, it has no cd-rom, so I've got a backpack parallel
port 20x 4x 4x cd-rw drive. You guessed it, drivers not auto-recognised
by the linux install daemon. Can't remember the parameters linux asks
for/recognises to type it in by hand.

Created the requisite boot image floppy for no cd-rom system. Should I
just get the pcmcia card adapter for this backpack drive, as the nospin
provided cd-roms have a boot image for pcmcia interface cd-rom drives?

thanks all,
Jim Griffin
