I've installed 2.1.0, 2.1.5, and : 2.2-SNAP080196 from a slave ATAPI on the secondary controller. Strange... at home, my own 486 2.1.5 box would only recognize the CDROM on the primary IDE and only as a SLAVE. On a P160 box at work, it would NOT at all recognize the CDROM using any configuration on any built in IDE port. : -- : "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their : home." : -- Ken Olson, President of DEC, World Future Society : Convention, 1977
