Parallel-port CD-ROM install trouble

[Todd Last <Rubatoguy@mindspring.com>]

I'm trying to install Debian on my laptop with a Microsolutions 164700
model CD Rom.
This CD attaches to the laptop via the parallel port.

When I get to the part of the install that tries to load the kernel to
the hard disk, it can't find the CD-ROM

I understand that  I may have to add a driver for the CD-ROM, based on
info I found at : http:\\www.tourque.net
However, I don't know where to find the driver, or how to load it during

the install process.


Can anyone offer some help in terms of a step by step?

Heck, I even tried looking in the manual - to no avail.

Thanks
