I was seeing timeouts when I tried to use it RH 6.2. I normally don't
have it plugged in since the floppy drive is more useful. I suspect it
could be dirty contacts or something outside of the control of the rule
developers. It does impact how I might make the modules available. I have
two of these laptops and I didn't test the cd drive that is in the other
bag recently, so that one may work.

I'll probably do a bit more work trying to work with what I've got.
Otherwise I'll try the new version that you upload. I am going on a trip
late in the week (which is what spurred me to look at upgrading the OS
on the laptops), but if I don't get to it before I leave, I'll try again
when I get back.

Thanks for developing rule. It will be nice to get a modern linux distro
on those old laptops.
