[nmglug] CDROM, Wheredit go?

[a_kaluta]

From; Anthony Kaluta
This is my first time examining the suggested files.(Debian)
Looking at  "Bios Setup Utility"  "Advanced" Primary IDE Master" is detected
"Secondary IDE Master" not detected.
Trying knoppix last week it boot twice,since then knoppix does not boot via
the method with which I am familiar,that is, placing cd in drive and
rebooting.
It has not recognized any other cds.However in the past I have loaded and
used a data cd althought through some stumbling method I happened upon
through either links or emacs.I am fuzzy on how I accompished looking at
that instructional text cd.
Knoppix is loaded as an 'iso' in my root directory I do not know if the 
information would be useful,I do not know how to access it.
If relevant,I have noticed erl_crash dump ? in one of my directories.
       Thanks Anthony Kaluta
