However, the fuckin FD cant be bothered to work and the cdrom seems to say fuck you when it comes to bootable cds.
So basically I have a Duron600 w/512mb ram and a 40gig drive I can do nothing with.
:mad:

Edit:
Also check to make sure the bios is on 'autodetect' or 'cdrom' otherwise the OS loads the CDRom drivers and the bios doesn't know it exists.
If you know what I just said, ignore it. :)

The cdrom is still no dice however.
And another problem arose.
When I boot up from the Openstep4.2 bootdisks it asks me after I put the driver disk into the drive:
Really Install?
But Yes or Y arent accepted!

I ask because I personally have a few old CD drives (like 4x speed) that just won't boot a bootable CD. Put in another drive -- even if it's that old, just another manufacturer -- and all is well. I've only run into a few CD drives that won't boot a CD, but they're out there (though quite old now).

Totally unrelated: what network cable do I need to connect two pcs directly?

Shitty cdrom doesnt take burned cds!!! AEROGH!!
Yes, that's quite possible unfortuntely.
The CD drive in my mother's computer won't accept CD-RW discs, but can read CD-R discs just fine.
It is also an old generic drive pulled from an IBM.
