Used the Sony DVD drive. OK, that should be the same as the C1VE/C1VFK , I think. >> Did you have to give the prompt above? It's possible I did get FC-1 to see the CD drive that way. As I recall, I tried every possible combination of ide1=0x180,0x386, ide2=0x180,0x386, text, pci=off, noprobe, nopcmcia and I did finally get a combination that worked. But I couldn't get it to work with FC-2, FC-3 or FC-4. However, I had no problem installing FC-2 and FC-3 (and various test distributions) from hard disk. FC-4 is the first time this has failed. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
