Hi!  I've got a Toshiba laptop with a Backpack external CD-ROM 
hooked to the printer port.  I've already been told in no uncertaion 
terms by many people that it (the CD-ROM) isn't supported by Linux.  But, 
here's the question...can I use rawrite or something to copy the parts of 
either Linux or (preferrably) FreeBSD to a DOS partition and install it 
from there?  Or, could I be so lucky that maybe FreeBSD does support my 
CD-ROM drive? Oh, yeah, if it matters, my laptop has Win95 on it which I 
have to keep.  Will the two coexist?

	Thanks!

	Tom
