I am trying to load a cd version of linux that comes with the March edition of 
Computer Shopper mag` onto my 386dx40 with Co-Pro and 8 meg of ram. 
The problem is it does not detect my CD drive ( 16 bit S/B & Panasonic rom 
563)  even though the installation setup does list this unit .

I have tried the auto detect , manually entering the sbcd option and also all 
the other cd roms` the program lists but to no avail.

If anyone can provide a solution , in not too technical terms ! , it would be 
greatly appreciated as I would like to see what Linux looks like.


Thank you all for any replies

        Andrew
