Re: Urgent!!!
Hello Leslie,
First of all, (as a Chinese myself), I would like to remind you that
re-posting the same few messages many times to many people doesn't work.
Don't be so impatient, it takes time for people to sit down, read and
reply to your e-mail, and it often take up to a few days before anyone
can reply your message.
Posting the same messages numerous time not only gets people's attention;
it also annoys people. It is the best way to turn people away. Please
observe proper "netiquette" next time you post.
Also, please try to limit your message to less than 80-characters per
line. (Check your mail reader/composer's setting.)
I am no expert, so I can't help very much. But read on anyways...

Nothing. You have chosen the wrong option. You have an ATAPI/EIDE
CD-ROM, not an Aztech CD-ROM.

Sorry, I have no idea. Did you install the BusLogic Host Adaptor driver
by mistake? Or do you have the BusLogic adaptor in your computer? (I'm
not sure what it is, but I guess it is either an Ethernet card or a SCSI
card. (I might be wrong).

I consider you look for a Linux user's guide on the Internet, or buy a
book about Linux for these questions. There are lots of excellent user
guides, FAQ's etc. on the Internet. Otherwise, a book on Linux will help
you get started.
Go to http://www.debian.org/ and go to both "Documentation" and "Related
Links". I'm sure you'll find something to get started.
Hope this helps.
Anthony
