All of the CD's, even the one's i've already installed.  And it doesn't 
cooperate under drdos, either, though I have no idea whether my drdos 
installationis in good shape or not.  I think i tampered with the silly 
config files several times.

hmm, i just found this in the log:

Nov 18 19:00:10 eyry kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00, sector 0

This is simply not correct; the thing is closed  with a cd in it.

ALso, I get messages on boot that

daemon.log:Nov 17 18:05:03 eyry modprobe: can't locate module block-major-11
daemon.log:Nov 18 12:26:12 eyry modprobe: can't locate module net-pf-5


There's something vaguely familiar about all this . . .
