I was talking to a friend today and he complained that he could not get Linux to install on his new machine (he tried installation both from a Debian 2.0 and a RH 5.2 CD). The machine was a new one with one of the DVD-ROM drives. Apparently the problem was that 2.0.36 can't handle those drives yet and you need a more recent kernel. This would mean that our boot-disks don't work for a reasonably large proportion of new machines that are currently being sold. Could someone please check if this is really so, and if so what we can do about this?
