im trying to install slack 9.1 on an old laptop (think pad type 9545 (it has 24 megs of ram)) and it won't see my cd drive (microsolutions backpack bantam model #181100), i tried booting with boot disks (pportide.i and old_cd.i ) and it still doesnt detect the drive, even after i tried
ramdisk hdd=cdrom
the thing under setup doesnt detect it either
has anyone else tried to install slack on an old laptop with similar conditions?
