The still insufficient support of FreeBSD for IDE CDROM drives is still one of the major headaches for some people (I'm sure there are a lot others) like me. Imagine having a CDROM drive and not being able to directly install from that CD. Imagine having to still copy files from the CDROM to disk to be able to install FreeBSD. - Humprey - On Thu, 7 Mar 1996, Andrzej M.
