Hi,

I am having a problem installing linux on my machine.  I have a BackPack CD
Rom drive connected to my laptop via the parallel port at the back of my
machine.  When I get to the stage of the installation where I specify that I
am using a CDROM drive to make the installation, It presents a list of types
of CD ROM drives to use.  I select  'BackPack'  It then goes to the Module
Options and you can select 'AutoProbe' or 'Specify Options' when i select
autoprobe it comes back with the message "I cant find the device Anywhere on
the system"
Does anybody know what to enter in the Specify Options window.  I've tried
typing LPT1 and other stuff but it still cant detect the CDROM drive.  Do I
need to have LINUX Backpack drivers installed on my harddrive ???
Mail me at silverwolf@ireland.com
much appreciated.
