I also have an IDE cd-rom drive -- it seems freebsd doesn't support ide cdroms -- I have another machine with a Sony U31 CDrom drive I can nfs...can I use this (I suppose the alternative is to do a mass copy of the cdrom to hard disk...) marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.
