Even 2.1.0 worked with my Atapi CD-ROM drive. 2.2.1 even liked it on the soundcard's IDE port (this was really great for my migration process from 2.1.0 to 2.2.1 when I had two IDE harddisks connected). You do have to enable ATAPI support for the kernel (I beleive it's turned on by default on 2.2.1) to get the support into the customized kernel. The 2.1.0 Release CD had a seperate kernel for IDE-installation. This isn't needed anymore... Greetings, Ripley -- H.
