OK, here's the situation: 486-100 laptop 32MB RAM, 500MB HDD No internal CD, but I have a ParaDisk PP IDE drive from which I would like to install Slack 8 - at least some of it I tried the pportide.i bootdisk, and I don't think it found the CD (I might have missed it). Questions: 1. How can I test if the bootdisk actually did find the CD? 2. Does anyone have any experience with parallel port IDE drives? 3. Where can I find more info re: PP-IDE and Linux? Any help is greatly appreciated! TIA, Bob
