Very Computer

I have a Mitsumi 4x CDROM drive in my new computer, but it does not work
under linux.  What is the single easiest way to get it to work, and is
there any way to get it to work without linux installed on a hard drive
(during the installation, right after booting the rootdisk)?  I would
appreciate any help you can give me.  Please respond via email, do not
post.

Thanks,

Seth

Go read comp.os.linux.announce. I've just release a new set of Linux
1.1.88 kernel Boot and Root disk with full support for ATAPI IDE
CD-ROM drive such as the Mitsumi FX400 QuadSpeed CD-ROM.
