Who did tell you this? Arguably, ATAPI CD-ROM support in 2.1.7 was weak, only higher quality drives (that usually adhere more to the standard) work with 2.1.x systems. But 2.2 should work with a lot of drives. (If you have one that doesn't work, and want support for it, there's an offer by Søren Schmidt that you can send him the drive and he'll see what he can do for it.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
