I have a MicroSolutions backpack CDROM model 164550.  I have used this to
install on many machines over the years that didn't have a CDROM.  It
stopped working at rev 6.0, and I though I didn't worry about it then (I
could still install over the net) it is a problem now because the machine I
have isn't able to use network install (RedHat 6.1 does not recognize the
PCMCIA subsystem on the Thinkpad 240 I have).  SO, now I can't install via
net, or backpack CDROM.

As of 6.0, the backpack CDROM was shown as an option on the installation
menu, though an error would appear on the alt-f5 screen "bpcd.o: file not
found in archive".  In 6.1 the option to use this CDROM doesn't appear at
all.

It seems strange that functionality would be *intentionally* left out when
something was supported in a previous release.  I'm not sure that this is
intentional.

Thanks,
Jason Herring (wants to blow Windows off my Thinkpad!)
