There's been a lot of discussion about getting IDE CDROMS installed and problems with installing packages. My CDROM is an EIDE. Should I expect to access an EIDE (not IDE) drive with 2.1? I've read conflicting statements about packages. Assuming I could access the CDROM with my setup, should I be able to install Lynx, the Apache web server and the X packages WITHOUT ftp to a remote site?
