Both the book and the CD are ancient, but not to the same extent :-) The book describes 2.1.0R. Starting with 2.1.5R, the functionality of atapi.flp was merged into the standard boot.flp, so you use the same boot floppy whether or not you have an ATAPI CD. Anyway, 2.1.5R is very old too, and you should probably consider a newer version for fresh installations. > > I've also searched your ftp site. I can't seem to find it still.
