It would be nice if LanServer/Warp connect coped with 'no cd in the drive'
more gracefully. After all, its a fairly normal occurrance.

In particular, the CD not being accessible when a workstation starts up
produces two error messages which are system modal. This means that
the workstation cannot boot unattended. I have only one caddy, and CD drives
in both server and workstation. They cannot both be ready during the boot.

Doesn't IBM test for this kind of thing?

I'd love another caddy, but no one seems able to supply one :-<
