It really was a major number of 15. Thanks for the help. So far, only the
Slackware installation has actually been able to talk to the CD, Red Hat
and Debian failed. Now I'll be able to finish installing Debian.
Minor rant: It wasn't that long ago that the CDU31A was one of the few CDs
supported by Linux. Now, it seems that it's considered "old technology"
and ignored. Considering that I'm running on a 33MHz 386, I think that
older machines still have a lot of life left in them, particularly with Linux.
