Now when I boot and go thru the probes, and in Userconfig, there is no CD recognized. I notice that the BIOS on this machine doesn't seem to know about the CD either. I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that either I need to go the 200+ floppies root, yeah right, or need to upgrade or try another machine. Thanks if anyone can enlighten me....
