It does not matter what you install from. For 2.1.0 and 2.1.5 (don't know about 2.1.6) the GENERIC kernel that gets installed once the installation is complete is not configured to support ATAPI CDs. You have to rebuild a kernel with ATAPI CD support (that is: options ATAPI device wcd0 in it) before you can have your CD recognized. Nadav
