> In our company, we're installing all our linux systems (debian sarge)

> We set up normal PC's (HP and Dell) and Notebooks (Dell Latitude D600,
> D610, D620).
> Now I wanna reach the FAI support for Dell Latitude D420. It's a
> subnotebook.
> 
> The problem is now, this model doesn't have a CD or DVD drive
> build-in.
> There's only a DVD drive aviable which can be connectet with USB.
> 
> I can boot from my FAI CD, our two installation versions are found,
> but when it will start with the FAI installation the following error
> appears:
> -> trying to locate cdrom: no ATAPI CD-ROM drives found
> -> searching for installed SCSI adapters
> 
> Where could be the problem?
> I doesn't have any idea how to implement the USB DVD drive support for
> FAI.
