Ah those early days, where have they gone. Yggdrasil was my first cd based distro too and the 0.99pl13 version brings back fond memories. When I started playing with Linux, SCSI was the way to go so I got an NCR 53C815 SCSI card and a Quantum SCSI-2 drive. Iirc that card was well supported because I think Linus was using one and it was always enabled by default in the kernel config. Cost me an arm and a leg but at least it got the system going. Initially I borrowed a SCSI cdrom drive to install the Yggdrasil cd. After a while, when more drives were supported, I got a cdrom drive with an interface card (don't recall the brand. IBM?). The interface card had a dip switch on it with two addresses of which only one was a possible setting in the kernel (think it was 0x330). The default setting in the kernel was something different and many times I forgot to change the setting in the kernel to 0x330 resulting in a non-working cdrom drive. These days with dual core cpu's that isn't such a big deal but my little i386sx took quite a while to recompile the kernel again this time with the correct setting. Not to speak of recompiling the latest version of X so I could use my shiny new ATI Mach64 videocard. Linux has come a long way since then and all this time it has remained a trusted companion. It is good to see that the spirit of the early days is still here and that the community keeps on growing. Who would have thought?! Jens: thanks for all your hard work! I hope to enjoy many more of your much appreciated enhancements.
