If the cd drive on the 486 is not broken and the setup procedure recognizes it, drivers will be provided to access it. Actually most likely is that you could choose beforehand what kind of setup floppy to create. For instance if your 486 contains any scsi components ( probably not ) you would have to create a different setup flop with specific scsi drivers. Don't worry, just try it, you don't have to invent the wheel again, most things are pretty well documented or come equipped with a walkthrough. greetz, Jeroen. "I never try anything, i just do it.
