: Shhhh.  Don't tell that to my machine.  I've installed 2.1.0, 2.1.5, and

 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.
