That's exactly the case. The W98 bootdisk has lots of CDROM drivers.
The Caldera Lisa even recognized it but I didn't know to get to a shell

I knew that. That's why I mentioned stupidity. Actually I've been
using MS stuff for a long time and not thinking Linux automatically
enough yet. When I used Unix thiry years ago I didn't know about
virtual terminals.
Anyway, if you ave one of the old CD-ROM like original SB16 cards, you
may need to specify so many things.
I think I have the CDROM identified and I think I have what I need on
the Caldera boot disk but I should be able to find it on the net
otherwise. I'm trying to put together a good boot disk tool kit for
these situations. Do you know of any probes for CDROM's?
I think if you are thinking installing Linux, you must be using this on
LAN environment.
Actually this machine is going to disabled friend and does not currently
have a NIC. I was thinking about that and haven't quite learned exactly
how to do that even though I believe I am close.
If so network install is alternative. Just 2 floppies
is all you need.
What's the best reference you know for that?
Thanks,
Paul
