Comments/Problems:

The IDE drivers are on the fdd image marked as cd-drivers, this disk should be marked as ide-drivers or somthing more generic. Once loaded drivers from cd-drivers for the IDE the installer still expects to find a debian CD, this should be optional, I had to force the installer to continue without the CD.

   Our company is looking for energetic and accountable individuals to occupy    Shipping Clerk positions throughout the USA. These vacancies are entirely    home-based and do not require any travel or relocation. They are also    suitable for students and senior citizens who are able to dedicate up to    three business hours per day to their duties. No special qualifications are    required, although previous shipping or customer service experience is a    plus. We are an international company providing mail/internet order    opportunities for a global clientele since 1997. We are based in Russia, and    also have offices in Latvia and Kazakhstan. Our business provides    online/Online Order facilities for those who are unable to benefit from the    convenience of e-commerce due to lack of a banking relationship with an    internationally recognized bank or because major online vendors will not    ship to their location. We have domestic purchasing agents who place the    orders on behalf of our clients, and the goods are then shipped to the local    shipping clerks for further sorting and international shipment. We also    provide escrow services for high amount and/or web auction orders, and offer    assistance with customs clearance, if required. Currently, we are looking    for individuals to fill in the positions of shipping clerks throughout the    USA. Your duties will include receiving, sorting, repackaging and re-sending    the orders made on behalf of our clients using the pre-paid USPS shipping    labels that you will receive via email. You will be paid $20 for each parcel    that you ship, plus $5 for each order that you will need to re-sort or    re-package. We will also cover any other authorized expense, such as extra    insurance or shipping materials. Your remuneration will be remitted to you    via Western Union twice a month. You can expect to handle 5-15 incoming    packages weekly, following a 2 week probation period. You can perform your    duties from the convenience of your home. You will generally be re-shipping    the orders on same day or next day basis, so you will not need to sacrifice    your home space to storage. You will only be receiving orders placed with    reputable online vendors and delivered by major courier services, such as    FedEx and UPS, who pay great attention to ensuring that they are not    involved into trafficking any illegal substances or hazardous materials.    Thus, there will be no risk on your end. We also encourage you to open and    inspect each package that you receive to ensure the legitimacy and safety of    itsâ content. In order to fill the shipping clerk position, you need to be    aged 18 and above, have a permanent address where you are available on a    regular basis and also have access to phone and email. In order to ensure    that you can be entrusted the client merchandise, we will need to verify    your identity and confirm that you do not have any previous criminal    convictions. To apply for this position and for more information on our    company, please fax your resume and (optionally) cover letter to: (309)    431-7288.
