I think you have something going on with that specific system... I've still got several 2450s running in production-- all were booted and/or loaded from CD-R (didn't try CD-RW). I'm also running CentOS-- my latest machine is running 4.4 (i.e., haven't tried to load a 2450 from a 4.5 or 4.6 CD). If memory serves me (I'm at home at the moment), a 2450 uses a laptop CDROM drive-- I've had *many* of these drives go flaky from this vintage. --- Cris -- Cristopher J.
