I don't know if Compaq/HP has your BIOS in a form that you could expand it using Linux.It doesn't bode well if the BIOS lacks support for CD-ROM devices entirely, since that usually means that the drivers need to be loaded after boot.John-- John PeacockDirector of Information Research and TechnologyRowman & Littlefield Publishing Group4501 Forbes BoulevardSuite HLanham, MD 20706301-459-3366 x.5010fax 301-429-5748-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
